Webinar: Investing in Saudi Sports and Entertainment

Saudi Arabia is experiencing an expansive economic and social transformation under Vision 2030 in which sports and entertainment are playing a pivotal role in the Kingdom’s massive diversification efforts, driving job creation and development.

Partnership and investment opportunities abound for companies throughout the sports and entertainment ecosystems. This includes companies with experience in consulting, planning, venue development, facilities construction and management, sports training, film and theater production, talent development, event marketing and much more.

To accelerate this movement, the government has adopted supportive measures, including financing, loan programs and other incentives. A new set of government authorities and regulatory requirements have also sprung up to guide the development of the new industries.

The U.S.-Saudi Business Council is pleased to partner with its member company Proven to present a webinar to review the government’s current investment environment with a special focus on foreign investment strategy for sports and entertainment. The webinar will also include a look at newly established regulatory entities and government licensing and other requirements that a foreign company needs to navigate to establish a foothold in this quickly growing market.

Omer Saleem – Deputy CEO and CFO

Khurram Shehzad – Business Development Director

Anita Chalke – Regional Manager – Business Support Services Immigration

Maha Ali – Legal Manager
