How do you think Saudi Arabia is rewriting the rules of sport?

From launching the first female sports channel to guaranteeing equal pay for women’s tournaments, the Kingdom is showing that sport can drive transformation far beyond the field.

Join H.E. Dr. Margarete Schramböck, Former Austrian Minister of Economy & Digital Affairs and Aramco Digital Advisor, as she explores how Saudi’s young, passionate generation – with an average age of just 26 – is turning sport into a catalyst for progress, diplomacy, and global connection.

Discover what Europe can learn from Saudi Arabia, why the Crown Prince’s gamer spirit is fueling a global esports movement, and how sport is becoming the Kingdom’s ultimate bridge to the world.
