At the third edition of the 'LEAP24' conference and exhibition, Engineer Saleh bin Nasser Al-Jasser, the Minister of Transport and Logistics, unveiled the enhanced version of the 'Logisti 2' platform. This initiative is set to revolutionize the logistics sector by offering over 140 logistical services through a single window, aiming to streamline investors' experiences and align with international best practices. The launch underscores the Kingdom's commitment to fostering an efficient, world-class logistics services sector.

Furthermore, Eng. Al-Jasser introduced the Ports Community System (PCS) as part of the 'Logisti' unified logistics window system. This addition promises to deliver more than 250 electronic services across Saudi ports, significantly boosting operational efficiency and growth volume.
