Saudi Arabia – Rail & Metro sector
Saudi Vision 2030 is a government program launched by Saudi Arabia which aims to achieve the goal of increased diversification economically, socially, and culturally, in line with the vision of Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman. The National Transport and Logistics Strategy is viewed as a cornerstone of Saudi Vision 2030. There are plans to grow the rail network to over 8,000 km (from 5,500km) in the coming years to further solidify Saudi Arabia’s position as a global logistics hub. Key investments include the 1,400km long Landbridge project linking the Arabia Gulf to the Red Sea, the Riyadh Metro Line 7 and Line 2 extensions, and new Metro projects in Jeddah and Makkah.
The session will be led by the DBT Team at the British Consulate General in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and supported by a panel of expert speakers.
The webinar will be followed by a trade mission to Jeddah and Riyadh from 3rd to 5thFebruary 2025.
(The event is open to all UK registered companies.)
