Overview
Worldwide, millennials are the drivers of the emerging digital economy. Regionally, Saudi millennials are among the largest contributors to economic growth through their growing digital consumption and influence on local businesses. Technology is embedded in Saudi millennials’ everyday life, as their consumption is among the highest in the world, and they use technology for a wide range of activities.
A joint collaboration with The Economist Corporate Network and sponsored by Oliver Wyman, we will discuss how millennials have changed the dynamics of consumption and how they will drive economic growth over the medium term.
