Reflections on My Work Trip to Saudi Arabia 🌍 Each time I visit Saudi Arabia—at least twice a year—I'm amazed by the progress and transformation taking place. The positive changes are evident everywhere, from infrastructure to economic growth and societal advancements. It's clear that there's a strong ambition to position the country as a leader on the global stage. A significant driver behind this momentum is Vision 2030, the ambitious plan unveiled by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in 2016. This initiative aims to diversify the economy, reducing reliance on oil, and fostering growth in sectors like tourism, technology, and renewable energy. Visiting now, you can see this vision in action, with innovation and determination fueling incredible projects. To put things in perspective, Saudi Arabia's GDP was $650 billion in 2016. Today, it's exceeded $900 billion—a testament to the country's resilience and strategic planning. Witnessing this growth firsthand is inspiring and reinforces the importance of fostering global collaboration. I'm excited to see how Saudi Arabia continues its journey toward Vision 2030, and I'm grateful to contribute, even in a small way, through my work. As someone who has the privilege of witnessing and contributing to this transformation through my work, I’m curious to hear from others: - What are your thoughts on Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and its impact? - Have you seen similar transformations in other regions? Your insights are most welcome! #Saudi #Saudiarabia #Vision2030

Saudi Arabia arguably The Best Country in the World to Do Business I often get asked why I believe Saudi Arabia is the best place in the world to do business. It’s a question I’m always happy to answer, because the opportunities here are unlike anywhere else. Here’s my view: 1. Clear Vision: Saudi Vision 2030 is an ambitious and focused roadmap to transform the economy and open doors across industries. This kind of clarity is rare and inspiring. 2. Unmatched Projects: The scale and variety of projects in Saudi Arabia are unparalleled—and most of them are backed by the government. The funding matches the vision, ensuring these projects move forward. 3. Massive Demand: Just landing in Riyadh or crossing the border, you can feel the transformation. Everything is under construction, and the region is experiencing a pace of development that demands thousands of suppliers across countless sectors. In contrast, when you look at Europe and the UK, the opportunities often feel fragmented or limited. Here in Saudi Arabia, the future is being built now, and the scale of change is extraordinary. I’m always happy to share my perspective and help companies understand why this region offers so much potential. Yallah—let’s keep building the future together! #SaudiArabia #Vision2030 #BusinessOpportunities #GlobalTrade #Transformation #LDExport LD Export
