Episode Title:š¶š¦Digital Sovereignty & The Gulf Tech Frontierš¶š¦
Another thought-provoking episode of Heads Talk this week as I sit down with an influential figure in the Gulfās digital transformation space.
Giorgio Torre, a leader in data, sustainability and technology advisory, KPMG, with a broad international remit, but a particular focus on the GCC region, including Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Giorgio and I first planned this conversation over a year ago. A lot has changed since then. So this is a timely, refreshed discussion exploring how the Gulf is boldly positioning itself as a global technology and AI sovereignty powerhouse. From quantum computing and autonomous energy systems, to culturally relevant Arabic-language AI models, Giorgioās insights are grounded in strategy, policy and lived advisory experience across governments, central banks and regulatory bodies.
Giorgio is not just an advisor, heās a voice of influence in the region, with over 120,000 followers and more than 12 million monthly views on LinkedIn. His posts ignite discussions across industry, policy and academia.
