The strength of German‑Saudi business relations is reflected in the high‑level visits, including the Federal Minister for Economic Affairs and Energy, H.E. Katherina Reiche, and the Federal Minister for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, H.E. Carsten Schneider. The Joint Economic Commission held alongside H.E. Katherina Reiche’s visit, the IFAT trade fair, and several incoming business delegations all underscore the depth of this partnership.
Amid the current geopolitical landscape, we are witnessing a shift in sectoral priorities. In addition to logistics, healthcare, and defense, the mining sector is gaining increasing importance in the bilateral relationship.
GSBM June 2026 | Mining Industry
In addition to logistics, healthcare, and defense, the mining sector is gaining increasing importance in the bilateral relationship. The strong interest in the German Pavilion at the Future Minerals Forum 2026 in Riyadh is just one example of this momentum.
Accordingly, the focus of the latest issue of our German Saudi Business Magazin (GSBM) is the mining sector, highlighting Germany’s contributions with a strong emphasis on artificial intelligence, automation, and innovation. It also explores the legal framework governing the mining industry.
