The kingdom’s fintech sector is projected to grow from $64bn in 2024 to $87bn by 2029, with the number of fintech companies surging from 89 in 2022 to 200 in 2023.

To mark the sector’s growing importance and in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030, the inaugural 24 Fintech 2024 event is set to take place from September 3-5 at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Convention Centre.
