36 Initiatives To Develop Digital Content Using SR4.2 Billion Government Support

Saudi Arabia’s Digital Content Council will undertake 36 initiatives to develop local digital content by taking advantage of government support amounting to SR4.2 billion. The Council of Ministers on Tuesday approved regulating the council to stimulate the digital content market as well as to enhance its contribution to the gross domestic product (GDP) and provide quality jobs.
