The CWC Group and The Royal Commission for Jubail are organizing the event.

The event will focus on opportunities surrounding the sector’s latest developments, including Jubail 2, and the Kingdom’s Downstream Master plan,

Organizers say the forum will strengthen the Kingdom’s drive to become a center for complex value-added downstream petrochemical derivatives and clusters.

The Saudi Downstream Forum is the meeting place for investors looking at the downstream petrochemical and mineral sectors in Kingdom.

More than just a conference looking at the technical merits of certain downstream solutions, Saudi Downstream is a meeting of national importance, setting out the master plan strategy and promoting the rewards available to investors in the Kingdom’s downstream sector.

The first Saudi Downstream meeting was held in March 2011.

“Never before has an event had such resounding public and private sector support, and we fully expect Saudi Downstream 2012 to be responsible for facilitating key public and private sector investment in the downstream industries,” said an official.
