Why Saudi Arabia Is the Top Choice in the Middle East

Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 is a strategic framework that aims to reduce reliance on oil, diversify the economy, and develop sectors like tourism, fintech, logistics, renewable energy, and manufacturing. This blueprint has opened the door to thousands of foreign business opportunities across industries.
