Saudi Arabia has become one of the most attractive destinations for investors and entrepreneurs, thanks to its ambitious Vision 2030 plan. The Kingdom is opening its economy to foreign participation like never before, offering opportunities in sectors such as energy, technology, retail, tourism, and healthcare.
