The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has invited leaders of business, economics, academics and researchers to attend the Saudi-US Business Opportunities Forum at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Riyadh.

The forum — its fourth round — will be held from March 22-23, and is set to bring together senior officials, businessmen and academics from both countries.

The forum will witness discussions on enhancing development and investment relations between Saudi Arabia and the United States.

“Those interested in benefiting from success stories and available opportunities will enjoy the opportunity to network through the presence of businessmen, workshops and various sessions covering a number of important sectors, such as health care, energy and industry, building sustainable cities and others,” the organizers said.

Previous rounds of the forum have been held in the United States since 2010, and now it is being held in the Kingdom for the first time.

The number of participants is expected to reach over 700, including government officials, experts, academics, researchers and business leaders from both the Kingdom and the United States.
