Med-Or at the Italy–Saudi Arabia Business Forum

The Med-Or Italian Foundation also took part in the Forum in Riyadh, represented by the Foundation’s Director of International Relations, Massimo Khairallah.

On 25 November 2025, the Italy–Saudi Arabia Business Forum was held in Riyadh, an initiative aimed at strengthening and expanding the existing economic partnership between the two countries. The event was attended by more than 500 Italian companies and over 450 Saudi companies, and concluded with the signing of around ten commercial agreements. The Med-Or Italian Foundation participated in the Forum, represented by its Director of International Relations, Massimo Khairallah.

The Forum took place at a time of profound economic transformation in the Kingdom, driven by the “Vision 2030” programme and by a comprehensive reform process that is making Saudi Arabia one of the most dynamic and strategic markets in the region. In this context, Italy—whose bilateral relationship with the Kingdom has recently been elevated to the level of a strategic partnership—can play a leading role in Saudi Arabia’s transition, leveraging its own areas of excellence to contribute to innovative joint projects.
