stc group Powers the Economy of the Future with Cross-Sector Digital Solutions

As a Strategic Partner of LEAP 2026 for the fifth consecutive year, stc group, a leading digital enabler, is demonstrating how its digital capabilities can support key sectors and help enable the economy of the future.

Across transport and logistics, tourism, sports, construction and real estate, the group is showcasing how digital transformation can bring together technology, people, systems, and infrastructure as a fundamental part of how sectors operate, develop and grow.

Making tourism destinations more responsive

For the tourism sector, stc group is showcasing solutions that make it easier to access and use information on visitors, environmental conditions, and expected weather patterns.

Among these solutions is technology developed with Red Sea Global that brings the information together in a more useful way. A 3D map combines weather and environmental data to generate suggested activities for visitors, with recommendations updating as conditions change.

Alongside this, a central operations platform gives destination teams a comprehensive view across facilities and assets, helping them manage operations, carry out maintenance, respond to changing weather conditions and deliver more personalized visitor experiences.

Finding and developing sporting talent

Sport presents a different challenge: identifying and developing talent at scale. To help address this, stc’s National Athlete Talent Discovery App uses digital tools to assess skills and movement patterns, helping identify promising athletes who may otherwise fall outside traditional scouting pathways.

At the Tech Lab, functional movement screening provides athletes and coaches with more detailed performance information, supporting talent identification and development.

stc group’s solutions for the sports sector also extend to the smart management and operation of stadiums. IoT-enabled technologies can help improve efficiency, safety and security while enhancing the fan experience.

At the same time, the group’s fiber network connects several stadiums, supporting the live broadcast of sporting events to audiences around the world. These capabilities are supported by secure digital infrastructure and cloud technologies that enable high-quality live sports broadcasting.

Reliable connectivity for transport and logistics

At LEAP 2026, stc group is also showcasing reliable connectivity solutions for the transport and logistics sectors, including its Intermodal Mega Hub concept.

The concept is designed to strengthen connectivity between ports, railways, dry ports, logistics zones, and industrial areas, helping improve operational efficiency and capacity while accelerating the flow of goods.

The practical value of these solutions lies in giving operators greater visibility over the movement of operations, creating a more complete, increasingly automated view across the network, and helping identify potential issues early enough to address them before they escalate.

Connecting information across real estate and construction

For the real estate and construction sectors, stc group is showcasing digital solutions designed to improve how information is managed across the different stages of a project.

These include the Contractor App, which brings construction teams and project information together on a single platform, giving site managers greater visibility over progress and helping them monitor compliance with safety standards throughout the project.

The group’s solutions extend across the project lifecycle, from the Contractor App, building compliance checks and project management before construction begins, through to progress monitoring, safety oversight and coordination between teams during construction.

They also extend beyond completion, supporting the management of districts and residential communities as well as ongoing operations and maintenance.

Solutions for other sectors

Beyond these four core areas, stc group is showcasing advanced technologies across a wider range of sectors, including the protection of sensitive government data, healthcare, water management, agriculture and environmental protection.

These include facial recognition technology that can assess key health indicators within 45 seconds, alongside virtual reality training solutions for healthcare. Satellite and drone technologies are also being used to support crop management, improve irrigation efficiency and help protect marine environments.

Digital capabilities for the future

The technologies and solutions showcased by stc group at LEAP form part of the wider transformation underway across Saudi Arabia as the Kingdom develops new destinations, strong infrastructure and emerging sectors.

This creates an opportunity to build digital capabilities into these developments from an early stage rather than add them later.

Through its strategic partnership with LEAP 2026, stc group is helping shape a digital future defined by new opportunities, advanced technologies and experiences that support the continued evolution of key sectors across the Kingdom.
