Industry Minister Bandar Alkhorayef Inaugurates Made In Saudi Expo 2025 To Showcase National Industry Advancements

The third Made in Saudi Expo 2025 was inaugurated by Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources Bandar Alkhorayef at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center in Malham. Organised by the Saudi Export Development Authority through the Made in Saudi Program, the event saw participation from Syria’s Minister of Economy and Industry, Dr. Mohammad Nidal al-Shaar. The Syrian Arab Republic was invited as the Guest of Honour.

Alkhorayef highlighted that the exhibition is a crucial platform for showcasing advancements in Saudi industry. It demonstrates the quality and competitiveness of Saudi products in both local and international markets. He also noted its role in establishing strategic partnerships to support national industries' growth.

The Made in Saudi Program, launched under HRH the Crown Prince's patronage in 2021, aims to position Saudi Arabia as a leading industrial power. This involves building consumer trust in domestic products and services by nurturing local talent, promoting national products, and enhancing companies’ capabilities for international expansion.

Saudi non-oil exports have shown significant success, reaching SAR515 billion in 2024. The first half of 2025 saw historic results with exports valued at SAR307 billion. These achievements highlight the industry's critical role in diversifying the national economy, aligning with Saudi Vision 2030 objectives.

This year’s expo welcomed over 25 Syrian companies as part of Syria's role as Guest of Honour. Their participation underscores opportunities for industrial cooperation and integration between the two nations, reflecting strong fraternal ties.

In addition to showcasing products, more than 25 workshops are being conducted alongside the exhibition. Furthermore, over 50 memoranda of understanding are expected to be signed during this event.

Alkhorayef emphasised that these efforts aim to foster growth within national industries while promoting innovation and expanding market reach globally. The exhibition serves as a testament to Saudi Arabia's commitment to becoming an industrial leader on both regional and global stages.
