spokhand at LEAP (Saudia Arabia)

We’ve just wrapped up four incredible days at LEAP, the largest global event for artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦. With more than 170,000 attendees, including the world’s leading tech giants, investors, governments, and media, LEAP is where the future is shaped — and this year, spokhand was right at the heart of it.

Our mission? To show the world that sign language is not just a tool for communication — it’s a language of innovation, connection, and inclusion.

We were honored to be represented by our official ambassador, Bob Dylem — a creative powerhouse with 1.5 million followers across platforms. A model, entrepreneur, and humorist, Bob is also a committed advocate for the Deaf community. His authenticity and reach opened doors, sparked meaningful conversations, and helped present spokhand to all kinds of audiences — from startups to state ministers.

At LEAP, we made waves by connecting with:

• International investors ready to support accessible innovation,

• Technology partners exploring AI and language tech integrations,

• Government officials and ministries focused on inclusion and digital transformation,

• Media outlets seeking impactful stories and social-driven technologies.

Together with Bob, and a powerful team of French professionals — not influencers, but genuine supporters of the Deaf community — we stood for something bigger than just tech. We stood for visibility, equality, and a world where sign language is embraced at every level of society.

We showcased our groundbreaking technology:

➡️ 3D avatars built on the world’s largest sign language database

➡️ Real-time sign language translation, powered by AI

➡️ Cross-language support (including Arabic Sign Language) to ensure no one is left behind

The reaction? Nothing short of electric. We heard one thing over and over: “This is the future.”

This momentum marks a major step in our international journey. We’re not just building tech — we’re building bridges. Between Deaf and hearing. Between languages and cultures. Between innovation and impact.

Because at spokhand, we believe that accessibility should never be an afterthought — it should lead the conversation.

We’re proud to help make sign language the language of the future.

And this is only the beginning.
