World Development Federation Saudi Arabia: Major Investment Opportunities in the 21st Century


This conference was held: NOV 13-15, 2000
JUBAIL INDUSTRIAL CITY, KINGDOM OF SAUDI ARABIA

A WDF INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT CONFERENCE


Saudi Arabia: Major Investment Opportunities in the 21st Century Saudi Arabia Welcomes You

A hundred years ago, King Abdulaziz Al Saud began the process of creating a nation in the Arabian Peninsula. Seventy-five years later, two world-class industrial cities were created on opposite sides of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: one at Jubail on the Arabian Gulf, the other at Yanbu on the Red Sea. Twenty-five years after they were established, the two cities are now making an enormous contribution to the economic well-being of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The opportunity for continued growth and investment has never been greater.
     It is a source of great pride to me to have participated in the remarkable achievements at Jubail and Yanbu, and I hope that you will all take the opportunity to visit some of these during your stay.
     The timing of this conference is particularly appropriate in light of the Kingdom's new investment system. It will provide an ideal forum for Saudi and foreign businessmen and investors to meet and discuss possibilities in an environment of mutual benefit and cooperation.
     May I welcome you all to Jubail and express my sincere hope that this conference will highlight for you many of the opportunities our country can offer. Despite a past reaching back into the dawn of human history, Saudi Arabia is a young country whose future is just beginning.

H.H. Saud bin Abdullah bin Thunayyan Al Saud,
Acting Chairman of the Royal Commission for Jubail & Yanbu

A forum you cannot afford to miss.

Why Now?
Saudi Arabia: Investment Opportunities in the 21st Century offers a comprehensive, in-depth program on the new investment and business development opportunities available in Saudi Arabia today. With the recent significant changes in Saudi foreign investor requirements, first-class industrial cities like Jubail have become the epicenters of new investment and business development in the country. The conference will focus on “Why” and “How” to do business under the new regulations.
    Speakers will discuss infrastructure, super projects, natural resources, the private sector, governmental and foreign direct investment and, most importantly, how all of these can be utilized in new business enterprise development. The agenda will provide real, valuable answers for participants who want real, valuable business opportunities.
    Join high-ranking Saudi officials and global leaders in finance, construction, development, industry and government. Learn why Jubail Industrial City has the potential for providing you with significant business opportunities. Learn what resources are at your disposal and what makes projects successful. Meet and talk with financiers, industrial expansion interests, business developers and support industry experts.
    This is an unparalleled opportunity to be face-to-face with government and business leaders, see what Saudi Arabia has to offer, and build the foundation for developing your business interests. Space is limited; register early.

a World Development Federation
International Business Development Conference

organized by the
Royal Commission for Jubail and Yanbu
in association with the
World Development Federation
Royal Commission of Jubail, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia An Invitation from the Director General of The Royal Commission, Jubail


On behalf of the Royal Commission for Jubail & Yanbu, you are cordially invited to attend Saudi Arabia: Major Investment Opportunities in the 21st Century. The conference is being held under the patronage of H.R.H. Prince Abdullah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince, Deputy Premier and Head of the National Guard, and will be organized jointly by the Royal Commission and the World Development Federation.

The conference will address key economic issues in light of the Kingdom’s new investment laws that promote investments by private and foreign investors. It will, I believe, provide a superb forum for Saudi and foreign businessmen and investors to meet and explore various investment opportunities in the Kingdom.

Jubail Industrial City is a world-class industrial city, created on the desert shores of the Gulf just 25 years ago. Together with its twin, Yanbu Industrial City, which is situated some 350 km. north of Jeddah on the Red Sea, it is a testament to the vision of Saudi Arabia’s leadership and the rapid growth the Kingdom has experienced over recent decades. With its skilled and enthusiastic workforce, modern infrastructure, abundant natural resources and strategic location between East and West, Saudi Arabia is the place to invest and do business in the 21st century.

Come and see for yourself the Kingdom’s remarkable achievements. We look forward to meeting you in Jubail Industrial City.
