The Saudi Business Landscape: What’s Different?

Saudi is a relationship-first, trust-driven market where the most valuable opportunities are awarded through strategic introductions, not public listings or open tenders.

You need the right people, the right narrative, and the right positioning — from the start.

  • Government-Backed Projects – Many deals are driven by sovereign wealth funds like PIF ($700B+ in assets).
