Just two days ago, I had the chance of attending the 24th Fintech Conference in Saudi Arabia, where the spotlight was on a topic close to my heart, Gen Z. As I sat among industry leaders and visionaries, something profound hit me: Gen Z isn’t just the next generation; we’re the generation that’s going to redefine everything. Hearing experts discuss the impact of my generation made me realize the incredible potential we hold. We’re the first to grow up with the world at our fingertips, literally. This has made us more than just tech savvy; it has shaped us into a generation that demands innovation, craves authenticity, and values social responsibility. But what struck me the most was the recognition that we’re not just future leaders; we’re leading right now. Our influence is already driving change across industries, especially in fintech, where our preferences for digital-first solutions and ethical practices are reshaping the landscape. We’re pushing boundaries, challenging norms, and setting new standards for what’s possible. The conference made it clear: Gen Z is a force to be reckoned with. We’re not just inheriting the future; we’re actively creating it. And as I walked away, I felt more inspired than ever to embrace this role and contribute to the wave of innovation and positive change that’s already underway.

As we step into 2025, it’s incredible to reflect on how digital transformation has seamlessly integrated into Saudi Arabia's ecosystem. Digital wallets like STC Pay, Apple Pay, and Mada Pay, once seen as revolutionary, are now part of everyday life. Similarly, digital onboarding has made accessing services—from opening accounts to activating utilities—effortless, paperless, and instant. Looking back, this was no small feat. Transforming public services with platforms like Absher and Tawakkalna, building trust in digital payments, and creating a cashless society were monumental challenges. Yet, through innovation, commitment, and the collective efforts of government, businesses, and citizens, KSA turned this vision into reality. What once felt like scaling a mountain is now the new normal. This progress isn't just a technological shift—it's a testament to resilience, foresight, and the power of a shared goal. Here's to continued innovation and growth in the digital era! 🚀 #Vision2030 #DigitalTransformation #SaudiArabia #Innovation #Fintech
