Saudi Arabia is rapidly transforming into a global business hub, and much of this evolution is driven by the development of Saudi Arabia’s Economic Cities. These purpose-built urban centers are designed to attract international investors, empower local businesses, and diversify the Kingdom’s economy in line with Vision 2030. For entrepreneurs and corporations seeking growth in the region, these economic cities offer unmatched opportunities.
What Are Saudi Arabia’s Economic Cities?
Saudi Arabia’s Economic Cities are specially designed zones developed to foster industrial growth, technological innovation, and socio-economic development. Managed under the Economic Cities and Special Zones Authority (ECZA), these cities are part of a national strategy to reduce reliance on oil and build a knowledge-based, service-driven economy.
There are four major economic cities across the Kingdom:
- King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC)
Located on the Red Sea coast, KAEC is a logistics and industrial hub, featuring the King Abdullah Port, one of the fastest-growing ports in the region.
- Prince Abdulaziz Bin Mousaed Economic City (PABMEC)
Positioned in the north, this city focuses on transport, logistics, agriculture, and industry.
- Knowledge Economic City (KEC)
Based in Madinah, KEC promotes education, IT, and knowledge-based industries.
- Jazan Economic City (JEC)
Situated in the southwest, JEC emphasizes energy-intensive industries and port-based activities.
Key Advantages for Businesses
Setting up in Saudi Arabia’s Economic Cities offers multiple benefits:
- 100% Foreign Ownership in certain sectors
- Tax Incentives and customs exemptions
- World-Class Infrastructure
- Strategic Location connecting Asia, Africa, and Europe
- Government Support through ECZA and other regulatory bodies
