Why Saudi. Why now.
Expo 2030 is more than an event. It’s a milestone in the Kingdom of Saudi’s Arabia transformation.
The regional transformation is Economic, Technological, Cultural and beyond
So, there has never been a better timing to localise and engage the broad opportunities and diverse resources that Riyadh, the Kingdom and GCC region have to offer.
The world is watching. The region is not waiting.
Infrastructure is under development, like never before. Talent is mobilising. Capital is being deployed. Those in the know are moving from observer to participants.
If you are considering Saudi Arabia, the question is no longer whether. It is how, and with whom. The right structure, and insights on the ground, matter most.
Access to local context, local capabilities and local content.
Saudi Arabia’s local content requirements increasingly shape who qualifies for public and large contracts. Region bases build relevance and credibility.
Equally importantly, access to local partners, insights into emerging opportunities and brokering matches between entities and capabilities takes thought.
Establishing regional head- quarters in Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia accounts for roughly 60% of GCC GDP. Jeddah, Riyadh and Damman offer deep and diverse talent pools, and access to vast opportunities.
Growth and market gravity are moving rapidly into new sectors where outside-in capabilities are in demand, with rich potential to play for.
