The Saudi Industry Forum 2025 drove industrial progress with agreements worth over 9 billion riyals, marking a strong move toward the Kingdom’s ambitious growth goals. Held at the Dhahran Expo Center, the event attracted key decision-makers, industrial leaders, and government officials.

The forum began with a speech that highlighted the fast-paced growth of Saudi Arabia’s industrial sector. Officials emphasized its crucial role in achieving the goals of Vision 2030. Moreover, the Eastern Province was spotlighted as a key center for innovation and development.

Throughout the forum, the signing of over 9 billion riyals in industrial agreements reflected deep investor confidence and forward-looking strategies. These agreements weren’t just numbers—they signaled a commitment to building a diversified, resilient economy.

At the same time, the Zahid Industrial Factory officially opened in the Eastern Province, further boosting local manufacturing capabilities.

In addition, the event saw the launch of future-focused programs. These included the “Industrialists of the Future” initiative and a national platform designed to gather feedback from local manufacturers. Both tools will play a vital role in shaping policy and fostering stronger communication.

To develop local talent, the forum introduced several training and academic programs. These include a master’s in industrial fields and a specialized Diploma in Furniture Manufacturing. They designed each program under the guidance of the Ministry of Industry to build a qualified workforce.

The Saudi Industry Forum 2025 also emphasized innovation and sustainability. With more than 320 exhibitors and 78 expert speakers, the forum became a hub of ideas and breakthroughs from both local and global participants.
