The role of mobile applications in supporting Saudi Vision 2030
1. Improving the quality of life
One of the main goals of the vision is to improve the quality of life of citizens and residents, and here the role of mobile applications is clear. Many applications today help facilitate daily life matters, such as health applications that allow booking appointments in hospitals and providing medical consultations remotely, and applications such as "Tawakkalna", which contributed greatly during the pandemic period in facilitating people's lives and raising the level of security. Mobile applications are a base that serves citizens and residents and provides them with comfort and quick access to services with ease.
2. Supporting the business sector and developing the digital economy
The vision seeks to develop the digital economy, an area in which companies rely heavily on mobile applications. Through applications, companies today can reach customers more easily and provide their services in a flexible and fast way, whether they are retail companies, banks, or even small businesses. Applications are a base that facilitates electronic purchasing and payment processes and provides a better customer experience, which enhances the growth of the digital economy and encourages entrepreneurship among Saudi youth. It is expected that the greater adoption of digital applications will contribute to opening new horizons for jobs and job opportunities, which will benefit the local economy and increase the diversity of sources of income.
3. Developing the education sector and facilitating access to educational content
In the field of education, mobile applications play a major role in providing high-quality educational content in innovative ways. With the presence of distance learning applications, such as the "Madrasati" platform and university applications, students can now learn from anywhere and at any time. These applications serve students and teachers, increase the flexibility of education and help develop their capabilities and knowledge, which contributes to achieving the vision's goal of raising the level of education and achieving development in human competencies. In addition, educational applications contribute to building new skills in students, whether in the fields of science or technology, which enhances their readiness for the future.
4. Promoting innovation and developing technical skills
One of the pillars of Saudi Vision 2030 is developing technical skills and encouraging innovation. Mobile applications open the door for young people to showcase their skills and creativity by developing technical solutions, whether in the fields of artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things, or other modern technologies. There are even special applications for learning programming and new technologies, which contribute to building a capable technical generation capable of keeping pace with global developments and achieving great achievements for the Kingdom. With the spread of these applications, training and education opportunities increase on a wide scale, enabling Saudi youth to play an effective role in the global digital revolution.
5. Supporting the tourism sector and enhancing national identity
Also, applications contribute to supporting the tourism sector, which is one of the main areas of Vision 2030. Today, tourists, whether inside or outside the Kingdom, can explore tourist sites, learn about Saudi culture, and book tourism services easily through special applications such as the "Spirit of Saudi Arabia" application. These applications not only enhance tourism, but also help introduce the Kingdom to the world as an integrated tourist and cultural destination, which contributes to consolidating the national identity and providing unique experiences for visitors.
6. Promoting e-commerce and providing new job opportunities
One of the most prominent goals of Vision 2030 is to enhance the digital economy and e-commerce, and here comes the role of mobile applications that help stores and companies provide their services electronically, making it easier for customers to shop and access products with ease. E-commerce applications such as "Noon" and "Amazon Saudi Arabia" have helped increase people's demand for online shopping. With the expansion of digital commerce, job opportunities in this sector have increased, whether in the field of delivery, marketing, or customer support, which enhances the national economy and opens new horizons for Saudi youth.
Finally,
Mobile applications are no longer just a luxury, but have become an essential element in supporting Saudi Vision 2030 and achieving its goals. From improving the quality of life, supporting the digital economy, to developing education and promoting innovation, applications play a major role in transforming the Kingdom into a global model to be emulated in the field of technology. With the expansion of the use and spread of applications, the future looks promising, and full of opportunities to achieve greater successes that contribute to achieving the Kingdom's ambitious vision, so that every citizen and resident becomes part of this wonderful development journey.
