Original 2024-12-18 10:16:53 · MENA Business

In recent years, the pace of economic development in the Middle East has gradually accelerated, especially in the areas of intelligent manufacturing, infrastructure construction, and pharmaceutical industry, attracting the attention of global enterprises. Chinese enterprises have played an important role in this process, not only by promoting technology output through joint ventures and cooperation, but also by participating in the development of localized industries, further expanding market share. The following three key cooperation and investment projects signify the deep cooperation between China and Saudi Arabia in multiple fields, and also reveal the enormous appeal of the Middle East market to global enterprises.

Supmea Joint Venture: Promoting Intelligent Manufacturing

and Industrial Automation in the Middle East

Recently, Supmea and its partner in Saudi Arabia officially signed a joint venture agreement to establish a new localized intelligent manufacturing and industrial automation company. This is Supmea's second expansion into overseas markets after establishing its first joint venture in Malaysia. According to Jacky, the head of Supmea, the establishment of the Saudi joint venture marks a significant breakthrough in Supmea's internationalization strategy, with a focus on the Middle East market and providing customers with localized intelligent manufacturing and industrial automation solutions.

Supmea's strategic goals are closely linked to Saudi Arabia's 2030 Vision, through which the Saudi government plans to achieve economic diversification, shifting from oil dependence to comprehensive development in areas including intelligent manufacturing and information technology. The new joint venture will not only promote industrial modernization transformation in the Middle East, but also help achieve deep integration between China's intelligent manufacturing and Saudi Arabia's economic vision, injecting new impetus into regional economic development.

Hydropower Bureau 8 undertakes PKG6 project in Jaffa, Saudi Arabia:

supporting energy transformation and infrastructure upgrading

The smooth handover of the PKG6 project in Jaffa, Saudi Arabia is also an important benchmark for Chinese companies in Saudi Arabia. The project, undertaken by Hydroelectricity Bureau 8, is a key development project of Saudi Aramco in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia, covering natural gas processing plants, compression systems, and a 1500 kilometer pipeline network system. The successful promotion of this project not only demonstrates the technological strength of Chinese enterprises in large-scale energy projects, but also reflects Saudi Arabia's ambition in the field of energy infrastructure.

During the project construction process, Hydropower Bureau 8 adopted advanced construction techniques and management models, and strengthened resource investment and night shift construction to ensure the project was completed on schedule and with high quality. Once completed, the Jaffa natural gas development project will elevate Saudi Arabia to become one of the world's largest natural gas producers, further consolidating its leadership position in the global energy market. The security and fire protection buildings handed over this time are key components of the entire project and an indispensable part of Saudi Arabia's energy transition process.

Saudi pharmaceutical industry investment:

Global pharmaceutical giants are expanding their presence

In the rapid development of the Saudi pharmaceutical industry, more and more international companies are increasing their investment in Saudi Arabia. Recently, during the first CPHI Middle East exhibition held in Riyadh, the Saudi Ministry of Health signed agreements worth over 3 billion Saudi riyals (approximately 798 million US dollars) with multiple international pharmaceutical companies, covering various fields such as pharmaceutical research and development, localized production, and logistics. The signing of this series of agreements marks a new layout for Saudi Arabia in the pharmaceutical industry, becoming an important gateway for global pharmaceutical companies to enter the Middle East market.

The Saudi government has provided significant policy support in promoting the development of this industry. Abdulaziz Hamad Al Ramaih, Deputy Minister of Health, stated that Saudi Arabia is undergoing the world's largest healthcare transformation, with the pharmaceutical industry at the core of this transformation. It is expected that by 2027, the pharmaceutical market in Saudi Arabia will reach 32 billion US dollars, with Saudi Arabia accounting for half of the market. With the construction of localized pharmaceutical factories and research and development centers, Saudi Arabia will become an emerging powerhouse in the global pharmaceutical industry.

The enormous potential of the Middle East market

Saudi Arabia is rapidly moving towards economic diversification and has attracted the attention of global investors through the rapid development of intelligent manufacturing, infrastructure construction, and the pharmaceutical industry. From Supmea's intelligent manufacturing joint venture, to the large-scale energy projects undertaken by HydroChina Eighth Engineering Division, and to the investment boom in Saudi Arabia's pharmaceutical industry, the Middle East market is providing unprecedented opportunities for global enterprises. For Chinese enterprises, this is a market with great potential and challenges. How to deeply integrate into this market will be a key topic in the global economic landscape in the coming years.

With the deepening of the "the Belt and Road" initiative, Chinese enterprises' investment and cooperation in the Middle East will continue to increase, injecting new growth impetus into the global economy.
