- Mega Projects and Green Growth: Initiatives like NEOM, the Red Sea Project, and the Green Riyadh program show Saudi Arabia’s commitment to long-term sustainability, smart infrastructure, and urban innovation.
- Public-Private Collaboration: The Kingdom is prioritizing partnerships between government entities, global investors, and private industry to accelerate industrialization and zone competitiveness.
