Robots and smart systems are no longer just future technologies; they've become key drivers of digital transformation across various sectors. This is happening as we increasingly rely on AI and automation in industry, education, and services. Major tech events are now creating platforms to bring innovators and developers together to showcase their ideas and turn them into practical applications that support the digital economy.
Following this trend, the Libya Digital 2026 Exhibition and Forum for Digital Economy, Communications, and Technology is dedicating a special area for a Robotics Forum and Competition. The goal is to highlight the latest innovations from programmers, engineers, and innovators, giving them a chance to present projects based on AI, robotics, and smart solutions.
This competition combines practical challenges with technical showcases. Participants will present prototypes of smart projects and innovative ideas that aim to solve real-world problems using modern technologies. This truly shows the growing role of robots in many aspects of life and their ability to boost productivity and improve services.
The event isn't just about showing off innovations; it's also a platform for programmers, engineers, and tech pioneers to share their knowledge. This helps foster a culture of innovation, encourages young people to develop practical tech solutions, and supports building a skilled workforce ready to lead digital transformation in the region.
The Robotics Forum is part of the broader Libya Digital Exhibition and Forum agenda. This year, the event focuses on the latest developments in AI, digital transformation, communications, cybersecurity, data centers, and FinTech. It will also discuss the challenges and opportunities involved in building a more competitive digital economy.
The Libya Digital 2026 Exhibition and Forum is scheduled to take place from July 27th to 30th at the Benghazi International Conferences and Exhibitions Center. It will bring together government institutions, local and international technology companies, along with experts and specialists in digital economy and communications.
The event is sponsored by the Ru'ya Foundation for Digital Economic Development and Strategic Studies. The Central Bank of Libya is the main honorary sponsor, while Al-Multaqa International Exhibitions and Conferences Organizing Company is managing the event. These efforts aim to boost digital transformation, support innovation, and build partnerships that will help develop the technology and telecommunications sector in Libya and the wider region.
