      KPMG is proud to be the official Knowledge Partner for WDS 2026. Building on our previous collaboration, we are excited to bring our team of dedicated Defense and Security experts to lead the discussions on defense integration, innovation and localization under Vision 2030 – along many other themes. In a world where rapid transformation and unprecedented disruption are the new norms, we aim to inspire confidence and empower change.

      As Saudi Arabia advances toward the ambitious goals of Vision 2030, the localization of defense industries is becoming a strategic priority. This transformation is about building national capabilities, supporting local talent, empowering SMEs, and fostering innovation. WDS 2026 will showcase cutting-edge technologies, bring together global and local leaders, and spark the collaborations needed to accelerate the Kingdom’s defense and industrial ambitions. At KPMG, we are proud to support this transition and to integrate technology and capability development.

      Through our deep sector expertise, local knowledge, and global reach, we are committed to helping defense players – public and private – unlock new opportunities, navigate complexity, and deliver lasting value for the Kingdom. Together, we are shaping the future of defense — from Saudi Arabia, for the world.
