Saudi Vision 2030 and France's Plan 2030: Strategic Partnerships and Innovations Fueling Future Growth
Saudi-French Investment Forum Showcases Strategic Partnerships and Vision 2030 Innovations in Riyadh
The Saudi-French Investment Forum in Riyadh will spotlight strategic collaboration under "Saudi Vision 2030 - France's Plan 2030," coinciding with a visit from French President Emmanuel Macron. This aligns with France's position as the largest source of foreign direct investment in Saudi Arabia among the G20 countries, as discussions will explore digital transformation and green energy opportunities.
Transitioning from this forum, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and President Macron have forged a strategic partnership following extensive talks at Al-Yamamah Palace. President Macron’s visit includes participation in the One Water Summit, while he was warmly greeted by Saudi officials at the start of his three-day stay.
In line with sustainable initiatives, the Riyadh Metro sets a new benchmark for urban transport, integrating advanced automation and design that resonates with local culture. This $23 billion project represents Saudi Arabia's commitment to innovation, reducing carbon emissions, and advancing Vision 2030 objectives.
Another significant stride in conservation under Vision 2030 is Saudi Arabia's reintroduction of the endangered Persian onager to its natural habitat, a move over a century in the making. Done in collaboration with Jordan, this reintroduction, which includes species like the Arabian oryx and Nubian ibex, underscores cross-border efforts to enhance biodiversity.
Moreover, cultural advancements are in focus as Saudi Arabia unveils Culture Square in Historic Jeddah, envisioning it as a global arts hub. The new landmark will host international festivals and digital arts initiatives, furthering Vision 2030’s emphasis on arts and heritage preservation.
Rounding off these developments, Saudi Arabia and Lithuania have signed an agreement to collaborate on aviation, aligning with Vision 2030 to position the Kingdom as a global aviation hub. This partnership aims to enhance air transport services and regulatory frameworks, expanding national carrier operations to connect with 250 international destinations.
