We prepared and launched incentives and potentials to support and encourage the private sector which is a strategic development partner in this program." "By 2030, the program aims to increase the contribution of the four sectors; industry, mining, logistics and energy in the GDP into SR 1.2 trillion. The program seeks to stimulate investments worth more than SR 1.7 trillion, raise non-oil exports to more than SR 1 trillion, and develop the labor market through creating 1.6 million new jobs," Eng. Al-Falih said. With regard to the launching ceremony and forum, Al-Falih affirmed that the forum includes detailed presentations on the program and its key sectors, initiatives and investment opportunities, adding "we offer for our partners, the private sector, 65 unique investment opportunities with attractive returns of about SR 80 billion in all four sectors. We prepare 20 rooms, called "Rooms of Deals", to hold direct meetings among the relevant bodies and the private sector's institutions."
