The Kingdom's Important Links - and How SBC Supports
The Saudi Business Council (SBC) is an independent, non-profit, private-sector association registered in Spain. It does not represent the Government of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and does not issue licenses, approvals or financial products. All sovereign decisions remain with the competent Saudi authorities.
From outside the Kingdom, SBC supports Saudi businesses and Vision 2030 by:
• Facilitating connections
Helping create structured connections between Saudi companies and international partners, and-where appropriate-pointing foreign businesses toward the relevant Saudi ministries, authorities and chambers for formal processes.
• Providing general information and resources
Sharing open-source information, market insights and references to official resources to help businesses better understand the Saudi market and prepare themselves before engaging with Saudi institutions, chambers or regulators.
• Highlighting investment opportunities
Drawing attention to public opportunities and sectoral priorities published through official Saudi channels and encouraging investors to explore partnerships and projects via Invest Saudi / MISA and other competent bodies.
• Encouraging innovation and entrepreneurship
Promoting a culture of innovation, entrepreneurship and skills development in line with Vision 2030, and showcasing how Saudi companies are innovating across sectors.
• Strengthening international relationships
Building bridges between Saudi businesses and international stakeholders, promoting responsible trade and investment between Saudi Arabia and the world-always in complementarity, not competition, with official Saudi efforts.
In this way, SBC aims to complement the broader work of Saudi institutions in economic diversification, private-sector growth and international engagement.
