This selection highlights Lahint’s rapid ascent in the government technology sector and its commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to modernize public services.
The company’s journey to this global stage was paved by its successful completion of several prominent regional accelerator programs, including Misk Launchpad, CODE Tech Founders, and Unlocked by Sanabil 500.

A core focus for Lahint is the integration of sophisticated technologies like Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotic Process Automation (RPA) into its service offerings. The strategic application of these tools is designed to achieve several critical objectives: drastically cutting down processing durations, virtually eliminating human error, and fostering greater transparency across governmental procedures.
The startup’s commitment to quality and ethical standards is demonstrated by its impressive credentials. Lahint has successfully secured four separate ISO certifications. Furthermore, it is officially recognized as an AI service provider by the Saudi Data and AI Authority (SDAIA) and has been awarded the organization’s Waee badge, which certifies its adherence to strict AI ethics guidelines.
Established in 2023 and based in Dammam, Lahint is on a mission to become the premier platform for automating government services within the Kingdom. Its foundational goals are in direct alignment with the broader objectives of Saudi Vision 2030, actively contributing to the nation’s digital transformation, boosting the efficiency of public service delivery, and cultivating a more streamlined and productive business environment for all.
