JEDDAH: Saudi Arabia and Canada are deepening their economic ties through the Saudi-Canadian Investment Forum, a high-level gathering held in Jeddah alongside a visit by the Canadian prime minister to the Kingdom. The forum brings together senior officials, investors, financial institutions, and private sector leaders from both countries to strengthen investment cooperation and identify priority sectors for collaboration.
The forum is a practical milestone in a renewed bilateral partnership, designed to bring decision-makers together to spot opportunities, forge partnerships, and follow through on priority sectors.
The gathering reflects a broader shift in the relationship, one built on complementary strengths, mutual respect, and a shared ambition for long-term growth.
Priority sectors identified by both sides include mining and critical minerals, financial services, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, data centers, and workforce skills — areas where Canadian expertise aligns closely with Saudi Arabia’s national priorities.
