Mission

At LEAP 2025, stc is rewriting the code - transforming industries, enabling businesses, and shaping the digital future beyond the conventional role of a telco operator. With City of Code, stc invites visitors into a world where innovation is the foundation and technology the driving force behind a smarter, more connected tomorrow.

In a time where disruption is the new normal, stc challenges the status quo, unlocking digital opportunities for businesses and governments of all sizes. How do we go beyond communication and truly shape the future? By rewriting the code to re[imagine] what’s next.

Idea

stc’s City of Code is a dynamic exhibition concept that immerses visitors in a multi-layered digital ecosystem. Designed as an interactive journey, the exhibition unfolds across themed districts, each representing a key business vertical. From AI-driven healthcare solutions to next-gen logistics, from industrial automation to security - every space is a showcase of how stc is redefining entire industries.

At the heart of the experience is the Choreobot, a synchronized robotic performance that sets the stage for Rewriting the Code. This digital spectacle introduces visitors to the stc universe, where movement, media, and innovation merge into one seamless narrative.

Solution

Spanning 1,500 sqm at LEAP 2025 in Riyadh, the City of Code is more than an exhibition - it’s a movement towards the future. Over four days, visitors will experience the full spectrum of stc’s capabilities, not as abstract ideas but as tangible, interactive, and scalable solutions.

This journey through the City of Code is a call to action: Reimagine what’s possible. Challenge conventions. Unlock new potential. stc is not just providing services; it is building the digital infrastructure that empowers economies, businesses, and societies.

At LEAP 2025, we don’t just talk about the future. We rewrite the code to create it.
