Hong Kong, 3rd June: Riyadh-based Tahaluf, a joint venture with global event organiser Informa, will expand its LEAP, the leading technology event in Saudi Arabia, in Hong Kong, by launching LEAP East, the Asia-Pacific edition of LEAP, running from 8th to 10th July 2026, at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC).

This is the first time for LEAP to expand beyond Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia focuses on collaboration with Asia, Hong Kong’s mature market, robust financial system, strong exhibition infrastructure, and unique “One Country, Two Systems” framework, in the results to host the LEAP East.

The event will feature over 300 exhibitors spanning AI, fintech, healthtech, deeptech, and over 200 world class speakers, targeting to attract more than 25,000 visitors from across Asia-Pacific and beyond.

ewpartners, the leading global investment firm focusing on bringing Asia and the Middle East market, is the exclusive strategic partner for LEAP East.

After four record-breaking editions, we’re taking our next bold step, bringing LEAP to Hong Kong. This city is not only a gateway to Asia, but a proven launchpad for global ambitions. Through our partnership with ewpartners, we’re proud to build a platform that unites Saudi and Asian-Pacific innovators on one world stage.”
