Saudi Arabia is currently one of the most dynamic markets in the Middle East, offering companies almost unlimited opportunities to seize diverse business prospects and actively shape the Kingdom’s innovative transformation process. Driven by the ambitious reforms of Vision 2030, the country aims for rapid economic diversification, creating ideal conditions for international cooperation in key sectors such as renewable energy, construction, healthcare, digital transformation, and tourism.
As a strategically important hub at the crossroads of Asia, Africa, and Europe — with access to key maritime routes such as the Red Sea and the Arabian Gulf, excellent logistics infrastructure, a young and highly qualified population, and an ambitious future vision backed by numerous mega-projects — Saudi Arabia is one of the key markets for forward-looking and growth-oriented business strategies.
Against this backdrop, EMA cordially invites you to the following online roundtable, which will offer in-depth insights into current investment opportunities and business prospects in Saudi Arabia, the legal framework for entrepreneurial engagement in the Kingdom, and the experiences of German companies already operating in the country:
