​

A NEW ERA OF COMMERCIAL PARTNERSHIP​​

Saudi Ministry of Commerce in collaboration with ​ U.S. Chamber of Commerce​​​
​​
The purpose of this event is to bring to the same table U.S and Saudi policy makers, private sector firms, chambers of commerce and other key stakeholders from respective countries to jointly explore opportunities for bilateral trade and commerce.

The event is an occasion for U.S. firms to​ learn about the unprecedented business opportunities unleashed by Vision 2030, the Kingdom’s flagship national development strategy.

The business environment in the Kingdom has never been as conducive to private enterprise, trade and commerce as it is today. Business opportunities abound both in the commodities and services sectors and in the booming digital economy.​​
