Upcoming Projects in Saudi Arabia 2024

Upcoming Projects in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia has several trillion-dollar mega projects in the pipeline up till 2030. These projects aim to reduce the country’s dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and reduce the kingdom’s reliance on hydrocarbons. 

Saudi Vision 2030 also aims to develop public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism. The kingdom’s target is to position itself as a Neom hub for investment. These mega projects will not only diversify the kingdom’s infrastructure and landscapes but, in many cases, the day-to-day lives of residents, too.

This transformation has created several opportunities to unify government bodies, architects, consultants, procurement professionals, owners, and developers involved in these ambitious plans and projects to meet local and international suppliers. This way they can source products that they require to change the outlook of the country.
