GESALO

Dear readers of the German-Saudi business community, 


Despite the ongoing conflict in the region, the German-Saudi business relationship continues to demonstrate remarkable resilience, reflected in numerous highlevel events and visits over the past months. 


In times of high uncertainties direct exchange in our CEO roundtables with Saudi and German business leaders became an important factor to better navigate the current business landscape. German company representatives convened in several roundtables across Riyadh, Jeddah, and the Eastern Province discussed supplychain challenges as well as emerging business opportunities in various sectors.

 

On the occasion of the visit of the Vice President of the German Bundestag, we were able to highlight the significant socioeconomic transformation driven by Vision 2030 and had the honor of organizing an exclusive female business roundtable providing valuable insights.


With major German trade fairs taking place in April and May, several Saudi delegations and exhibitors traveled to Germany to participate and showcase their products. This continued engagement underscores the dynamic and steadily growing cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Germany.
