Progress begins with people.
The second edition of the EDGEx Exhibition will take place from 3–5 May 2026, under the theme “The Future Is Human.”
The exhibition is organised by the Ministry of Education, in partnership with the Human Capability Development Programme, one of the Saudi Vision 2030 Realisation Programmes.
EDGEx is running alongside the third edition of the Human Capability Initiative (HCI) Conference held on 3–4 May 2026 at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, under the theme “The Human Code.”
The Pillars of Progress
EDGEx is structured around three core pillars that turn human capability into action.
People at the Heart of Progress
Society is shaped by people who seek connection and understanding. When education and innovation are guided by human values, progress becomes meaningful.
Empowering, Equipping, & Shaping People
Educators bring learning to life. They build skills, confidence, and curiosity, using technology as a tool to help people think, create, and lead.
Built & Led by People
Progress advances when people are empowered to imagine, decide, and lead. Technology supports progress, but people create it and use it intentionally.
Education is human.
