At LEAP, Cisco will illustrate the importance of secure connectivity and automation in powering a future that is digital and green.

Reem Asaad, Vice President, Cisco Middle East and Africa, said, “The past few years have illustrated just how critical it is for nations and businesses alike to invest in digital solutions and co-create for better outcomes. Today, we stand in a time of transition, as many pivot from short-term strategies devised during the pandemic, to considering the long-term necessity and benefits of utilising smart, intuitive technologies. LEAP represents an important platform not only for Saudi Arabia, but the entire region – fostering new dialogues on a connected and more sustainable future for all.”

Visitors to the Cisco booth at LEAP will witness the future of holographic and collaboration technologies in action. With hybrid work on the rise, holographic technologies are adding a new, third dimension to virtual meetings. In a whole new, futuristic way of presenting sessions, Cisco experts will deliver messages and short technology segments virtually.
