In conclusion, this participation reflects the Kingdom's commitment to developing the biotechnology sector as part of diversifying income sources. With the continued integration of government systems, Saudi Arabia continues to strengthen its position as a leading nation in the field of data and artificial intelligence at both the regional and international levels.
