London forum to spotlight Saudi investment opportunities as BMG marks silver jubilee
LONDON: Business leaders, investors, and policymakers will gather in London on July 8-9 for the 25th edition of the BMG Summer Retreat and the annual BMG Economic Forum, two events aimed at highlighting Saudi Arabia’s economic transformation and investment opportunities.
Hosted by BMG Financial Group and the BMG Foundation, the silver jubilee edition of the retreat will bring together international stakeholders to discuss developments in the Kingdom’s investment landscape, including projects linked to Vision 2030, Riyadh Expo 2030, and the FIFA World Cup 2034.
The centerpiece of the the two-day program will be the BMG Economic Forum at the London Stock Exchange, which will mark the 10th anniversary of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 reform agenda. This year’s theme, “Culture, Our Greatest Wealth,” reflects the growing role of culture and heritage in the Kingdom’s economic diversification efforts.
Diriyah Company, the forum’s strategic partner, will showcase investment opportunities connected to its $63.2 billion development project on the outskirts of Riyadh. The project, built around the historic birthplace of the First Saudi State, is expected to contribute $18.6 billion to Saudi Arabia’s national economy and create about 180,000 jobs. Plans include museums, hospitality developments, residential communities, retail districts, and cultural attractions.
