A digital nation is rooted in being "digital by design, digital by default", utilizing digital technologies to create people-centric services. The three core pillars of a digital nation encompass the realms of digital society, digital economy, and digital government. Achieving this vision requires establishing a clear direction, promoting effective leadership, emphasizing operational efficiencies, implementing supportive policies and regulations, fostering digital capabilities through innovation, modernizing infrastructure, and reinforcing integration through the application of standards and architecture in the ecosystem.

Key Focus Areas will Include:

• Enterprise Architecture
• Cybersecurity and Zero Trust
• EA for Sustainability
• The Digital Enterprise

The Open Group Riyadh Conference will delve into these topics, underscoring the importance of Enterprise Architecture (EA) in streamlining business processes, enhancing decision-making, and optimizing resources. It will also highlight the role of EA in achieving sustainability through resilient architectures with long-term environmental benefits, positively impacting society. Additionally, the conference will explore the innovative concept of Zero Trust Architecture in industry, ensuring continuous verification and authentication to minimize unauthorized access and enhance overall cybersecurity resilience in today's dynamic digital landscape.
