The U.S.-Saudi Business Council, in partnership with Choose New Jersey, had the honor of hosting a business roundtable on Sunday, April 27, 2025, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. This event featured The Honorable Phil Murphy, Governor of New Jersey, along with a delegation of distinguished companies and institutions from New Jersey.
The roundtable convened senior representatives from sectors including healthcare, education, construction, real estate, financial services, and energy. Attendees had the opportunity to engage directly with Governor Murphy and members of the delegation to explore opportunities for investment, innovation, and cross-border collaboration.
Building on strong existing commercial ties, total trade between Saudi Arabia and New Jersey reached $3.14 billion in 2024, with oil and gas and machinery representing the primary industries. The engagement aimed to further expand the relationship by identifying new opportunities for partnership across both emerging and established sectors.
The initiative reflected the Council’s mission to facilitate high-impact dialogue between U.S. and Saudi entities. By convening senior leadership from both sides, the Council continues to advance meaningful business engagement and expand bilateral trade and investment.
