Saudi Arabia continues to strengthen its position as a leading global investment destination, driven by a powerful combination of strategic advantages that appeal to international investors. Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources Bandar Alkhorayef reaffirmed that the Kingdom’s geographic location, abundant natural resources, political and financial stability, competitive energy prices, advanced infrastructure, and highly qualified human capital are key factors enhancing its global investment appeal.
The minister made these remarks during the main ministerial session of the fourth Public Investment Fund (PIF) Private Sector Forum, currently underway in Riyadh. He highlighted the pivotal role played by the Public Investment Fund in integrating with the Kingdom’s industrial and mining ecosystem to enable high-quality and sustainable investments.
Alkhorayef explained that the PIF has been instrumental in launching advanced industries that were previously absent in the Kingdom, including the automotive, military, and pharmaceutical sectors. He also underscored the fund’s contribution to expanding major national companies such as Maaden and SABIC, while unlocking significant supply-chain opportunities, particularly in aluminum and phosphate mining.
On technology adoption, the minister noted that Saudi Arabia’s advanced digital infrastructure has accelerated the integration of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies and artificial intelligence across key sectors. Initiatives such as the Future Factories Program are transforming traditional factories into smart, advanced manufacturing facilities, improving efficiency and industrial competitiveness. Similar efforts are underway in the mining sector through the adoption of smart mine management solutions, enhancing sustainability and operational performance.
The fourth PIF Private Sector Forum continues to showcase government initiatives aimed at empowering the private sector and highlighting high-potential investment opportunities across multiple strategic sectors, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s role as a preferred hub for long-term global investments under Saudi Vision 2030.
