Message from the President

As President of the Saudi Business Council, and as someone who has chosen to dedicate her work and heart to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, I see Saudi Business Council as a bridge built from respect, discipline and long-term commitment. The world is full of conferences, visits and speeches about the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. What is often missing are structured, serious pathways that turn words into real alliances, investments and projects that benefit the Kingdom and its people, while respecting the laws and institutions of Saudi Arabia. 

From our base in Spain and Europe, Saudi Business Council works as an independent, non-profit, private-sector association that supports Saudi businesses and Vision 2030 in their engagement with global markets. Through the Council of 5 global alliances and the Saudi-Ready Dossier, we help organise and filter international interest, connect serious partners to the right corridors, and encourage them to approach Saudi Arabia in a way that is transparent, respectful and aligned with the Kingdom's priorities. We do this outside the Kingdom, always recognising that all sovereign, regulatory and investment decisions belong only to the competent Saudi authorities.

Our role is to support, not replace; to make their work easier by preparing better partners and clearer proposals. l am particularly committed to involving Saudi youth and Saudi women in this work - as analysts, fellows and future leaders - so that a new generation can manage these global relationships with confidence and pride. 

My vision for Saudi Business Council is simple: to be a trusted, external ally of the Kingdom - one that helps Saudi businesses thrive abroad, helps serious partners understand how to engage with Saudi Arabia properly, and, in a modest but real way, contributes to the long journey of the Kingdom's transformation under Vision 2030.

With respect and dedication,
Kira Negron
President, Saudi Business Council
