See you at the Riyadh International Book Fair in September 2025

I wish a very lively and innovative LEAP 2025 in Riyadh to all my Saudi and Gulf friends who will participate.

While the LEAP Tech Conference 2025 will open tomorrow, February 9 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center, Malham, I will not be able to attend unlike last year.

Due to research that I am conducting on the very complicated and very hot topic of quantum computing and its various applications, I am indeed busy in France.

LEAP 2024 was a very positive shock for me to see such a large audience of this vast Saudi youth, highly educated, curious, ready to invest in New Technologies, and ready to take on great responsibilities in this world that instability still strikes, as the recent statements of the US President have again shown.

Different from the very elitist "Davos Convention", different from the American CES in Las Vegas which is focused on consumer goods, the LEAP convention in Riyadh is in reality a geopolitical event, as an essential milestone in the Crown Prince's Vision 2030 in order to diversify the Saudi economy, and bring the great power of the Arabian Peninsula to its real rank at the "table of big powers".

Since November 2023 I have been working on a book on the current "Saudi phenomenon", of course as an analysis of the wind of human energy that the Crown Prince released during his speech on April 25, 2016, but also to give meaning to the "Saudi awakening" in the history of the Arab and Muslim world. A book with innovative analyses that I will propose in September 2025 at the Riyadh Book Fair.

So, very good LEAP 2025 and see you at the Riyadh International Book Fair in September 2025!
