From February 9–12, 2025, Escode, part of NCC Group, had the honour of participating in the third edition of LEAP in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This global tech event, which attracted over 215,000 visitors, provided an invaluable platform for us to showcase our solutions and connect with industry leaders.
We were especially proud to be one of 20 companies selected for the UK Department for Business and Trade Pavilion—a prestigious opportunity that reflects our commitment to expanding into the Middle East. Facilitated by the UK Department for Business and Trade (His Majesty’s Government’s business division), our participation underscores our focus on global growth and operational resilience, as we introduce our industry-leading escrow solutions to new markets.
Working closely with the British Embassy in Saudi Arabia, we brought our expertise in software escrow, source code verification, and IP escrow to the region, reinforcing our role in securing business continuity for organisations worldwide.
A Significant Milestone for Escode
Our participation in LEAP 2025 marks a major step in Escode’s expansion, reinforcing our commitment to setting the highest industry standards and delivering best-in-class escrow services. By bringing our expertise to the Middle East, we help software developers enhance their credibility while ensuring software users have assurance in the continued availability of their critical applications.
As the global leader in software escrow, we enable businesses to safeguard their third-party, business-critical software and data. Our comprehensive escrow and verification services support operational resilience, regulatory compliance, and supply chain risk management, helping organisations meet their business continuity objectives with confidence.
Engaging with the Global Technology Ecosystem
During the event, we had the opportunity to meet with clients, partners, and industry leaders to discuss the global technology landscape and how our services support the region’s growth. Our team—Alex McCulloch (Director of Market Development - Middle East), Jayesh Patel (Managing Director), and Tom Markowicz (Account Director)—was on hand to share insights and explore new opportunities for collaboration.
It was particularly encouraging to see Alex McCulloch speaking with Tech Portal about our participation in LEAP 2025. His insights underscored the significance of our presence at the event and our commitment to fostering growth in the region.
Looking Ahead
As we reflect on our successful participation in LEAP 2025, we are excited about the opportunities ahead. This event not only strengthened our presence in the Middle East but also reinforced Escode’s role as a trusted partner in the global technology landscape.
We look forward to continuing our collaboration with the UK Department for Business and Trade and the British Embassy, supporting global growth and innovation. By bringing our industry-leading escrow solutions to new markets, we aim to help businesses achieve greater operational resilience and security.
LEAP 2025 was a remarkable experience, providing invaluable opportunities to connect with industry leaders, showcase our expertise, and reaffirm our commitment to excellence. We are proud of what we have achieved and look forward to shaping the future of software escrow worldwide.
