Background
The mining sector will become the third pillar of the Saudi economy and is expected to be worth $2.5 trillion. To level up the activities in the industry, Saudi Arabia is hosting the largest mining event in the Middle East with countries and companies from all over the world participating. Last year's engagement was highly appreciated by the Swedish companies and they see a similar engagement taking place this year.
The participation is in line with the Swedish mining initiative, a focus industry for Sweden and for the Saudi. Although the Saudi market is not as advanced as many other traditional mining countries, this is one of their most highlighted area in their vision 2030. Positioning Sweden and Swedish expertise and technology at this stage is of critical importance in order for Sweden to shape and take part in Saudi Arabia's mining future.
Why Join?
A perfect opportunity for Swedish companies to market themselves and establish important relations with key actors to further expand into the region. Through this project Business Sweden, together with the companies involved in the Swedish Mining Initiative, will be represented at the forum and showcase Swedish mining expertise with a highlight on Sustainability and Innovation - two areas of high importance for the local companies.
