Made in Saudi Arabia exhibition kicked off its third edition in Riyadh. Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources Bandar Alkhorayef cut the ribbon at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center. The event spotlights Saudi-made goods and their spread to global markets.
Strong Program Growth
Made in Saudi Arabia products now reach buyers in 180 countries. Launched in 2021, the program lists over 3,700 companies. They register more than 19,000 products for the label. Alkhorayef called it a key success story for the nation. It raises the profile of Saudi items and sharpens their edge in home and foreign markets. The exhibition serves as a main stage to display industrial advances and build business ties.
Record Export Gains
Saudi non-oil exports climbed to SR515 billion in 2024, setting a new benchmark. The first half of 2025 brought in SR307 billion. These figures show industry’s vital part in Vision 2030‘s push to diversify the economy. The Saudi Export Development Authority played a big role. It inked 108 export pacts. The group onboarded 433 fresh importers via its “Import from Saudi Arabia” site. Nine export houses earned licenses and tapped 21 nations, shipping SR390 million in goods this year.
Key Financial Backing
Saudi Exim Bank extended over SR100 billion in credit facilities since its start in 2020. More than SR5 billion flowed to trading houses active in over 150 markets. This funding eases the path for Saudi exporters to chase overseas deals and steady growth.
Event Highlights
The three-day show carries the theme “Building Empowerment.” It features sectors such as manufacturing, healthcare, and information technology. Planners rolled out the “Saudi Technology” brand and exported house tools from past events. Syria steps up as the guest of honor. Twenty-five Syrian firms participate under the banner “We Are Alike.” This move deepens brotherly bonds and sparks joint industrial projects between Saudi Arabia and Syria.
Path Forward
Alkhorayef urged closer public-private teamwork to lift industry standards. He thanked the Export Development Authority and exhibition staff for their drive. The platform fosters deals that sharpen skills and open doors. Saudi leaders aim for a top-tier industrial base that rivals the world. Non-oil gains fuel broader economic strength tied to Vision 2030 goals. Visitors can explore stalls, network, and spot chances in rising fields.
