Riyadh is the capital and commercial center of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Riyadh Chamber of Commerce and Industry sends out an E-Newsletter several times a month which is free and a good source of business information from Saudi Arabia. The information provided by this chamber is regularly updated and educational. Each newsletter contains information on business events such as exhibitions, trade shows, seminars, and workshops, as well as current business news, tenders, and trade development opportunities. The extensive diversity of the information provided reflects an open-market climate and encouragement of foreign investment.
Some trade shows and conferences listed include: International Exhibition for Metallurgical Industries, Australia Shoe Fair, Russian Agricultural Exhibition, International Exhibition for Industrial Equipment, Energy and Water Trade Show, Scientific Conference of Medical Students, Scientific Symposium on AIDS, and Congress for the Advancement of Third World Pediatric Health Care.
Recent chamber events include: conference to welcome a delegation from the Republic of Kazakhstan, reception to welcome trade delegates from Djibouti, exhibition opportunities for employment and rehabilitation, medical delegation to meet group from Singapore, meeting of investors in the sports sector, meeting with a delegation of the British Council, and the signing of an agreement between the chamber and the Saudi Management Association.
Business opportunities are regularly published in the newsletter and archived on the website. The opportunities as on might guess seem to be mostly companies interested in entering the Saudi market. There are hundreds of these stored on the site and they make for interesting reading. Here are a few examples of these trade opportunities: Tunisian olive oil: www.tunisia-oliveoil.com; JIMO, a Portuguese refrigerator manufacturer: www.jimo.pt; Laboratorios Le Roy, Mexican manufacturer of medical instruments: www.leroy.com.mx; Agrocroatia Nova, Croatian producer of food additives: www.agrocroatianova.hr/; Hameed Brothers Colombo Ltd, Sri Lankian natural rubber products manufacturer; and Australian dairy cooperatives.

ReplyDeleteBut I wonder how easy it is to do business in the middle east and USA - seems like a lot of political risk?
My friend is from Kuwait, and he once told me his uncle was offering high paying salary for American engineers..I considered, but then worried the risks of being an American in the middle east...
