The Fall 2025 AHK World Business Outlook ranks the MENA region as the strongest business region globally! The positive business environment and growing opportunities are reflected in an increase in bilateral trade between both countries. 

 

The thriving relationship between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Germany has been further strengthened by two high-level visits: H.E. Bandar bin Ibrahim Al-Khorayef, Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, and H.E. Fahad bin Abdulrahman Al-Jalajel, Minister of Health. On both occasions, GESALO had the honor of organizing roundtable discussions with German company representatives from the industries.

Besides high-ranking visits, GESALO witnessed a high interest by individual company visits and numerous delegations from different industries like Health Care, Energy Infrastructure, Food, Museum Equipment and Planning, Automotive as well as Aviation.

Saudi Arabia is investing heavily in AI as part of its economic diversification strategy, and German companies are actively contributing to this transformation across multiple industries.
