What Investors Should Know

Key advantages for Canadian businesses entering the Saudi market

Energy, petrochemicals, logistics, tourism, agriculture, manufacturing, and renewables are backed by billion dollar government programs under Vision 2030.
Large scale infrastructure and industrial projects in Jazan are managed by the Royal Commission, providing predictability, clear timelines, and streamlined investor support.
Foreign investors can access 100 percent ownership in key sectors, repatriate profits freely, and benefit from significant tax and customs incentives.
European, Asian, and U.S. firms have already secured multi billion dollar deals in the Kingdom. Their presence signals market maturity and a reduced entry risk for Canadian firms.

The Perception Gap

Despite these advantages, Saudi Arabia remains underrepresented in Canadian corporate strategies—largely due to outdated perceptions shaped by selective media coverage rather than realities on the ground.

Those who visit and engage in the market see a modernizing Saudi Arabia, driven by digital transformation, infrastructure expansion, and global trade integration.

Why Act Now

First movers gain the advantage—better contracts, stronger partnerships, and a foothold before competition intensifies.

With the right partnerships, Canadian companies can join the next chapter of Saudi Arabia's economic transformation, capturing opportunities in engineering, clean tech, construction, agriculture, and advanced manufacturing.
