Tahaluf CEO Mike Champion On KSA’s Unmatched Opportunities
“You can't scale events, you can't scale businesses, you can't create massive scale and growth anywhere in the world like you can in Saudi."
“If I were doing these events in most other markets in the world (probably all other markets in the world), they wouldn't be half the size they are now [here in Saudi Arabia]."
With this statement, Tahaluf CEO Mike Champion highlights how his organization – Saudi Arabia’s largest B2B event organizer, which is behind iconic brands like LEAP, Cityscape Global, and Black Hat MEA – is not only thriving in, but also shaping, the country’s business landscape.
Speaking to Inc. Arabia on the sidelines of the 2025 edition of LEAP, the award-winning event that Tahaluf co-organizes with the KSA Ministry for Communications and Information Technology and the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming, and Drones, Champion noted the growth his organization has seen since its launch in 2022 is indicative of the opportunities that Saudi Arabia presents businesses.
“You can't scale events, you can't scale businesses, you can't create massive scale and growth anywhere in the world like you can in Saudi,” Champion declared.
