The U.S.-Saudi Business Council, at the request of the National Security Council (NSC) of the White House and the United States Department of Commerce, was pleased to host an Executive Briefing and High-Level Networking Event on April 24, 2025, in Washington, D.C.
Held in advance of President Trump’s upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia, the event brought together U.S. business executives, senior U.S. officials from the NSC and the Department of Commerce, and a visiting Saudi delegation comprised of key public and private sector leaders. More than 50 U.S. companies and 10 Saudi ministries were represented at the briefing, where participants received strategic insights from the NSC and Department of Commerce as well as themes and perspectives from the U.S.-Saudi Business Council, all focused on bilateral business and investment.
The program featured in-depth discussions on shared opportunities in sectors critical to both economies, including digitalization and artificial intelligence, mining and minerals, energy innovation, and cross-border trade and investment. U.S. companies engaged directly with Saudi dignitaries to discuss market objectives and deepen commercial ties.
The event underscored the shared commitment of both nations to strengthening economic cooperation and highlighted the U.S.-Saudi Business Council’s continued role in facilitating impactful connections between major American and Saudi stakeholders.
"On behalf of the Middle East team at the National Security Council, please accept my heartfelt gratitude for the Herculean effort that went into yesterday’s incredible event. In four days, you pulled together precisely what was needed. You got the right people in the room, made connections between Saudi government representatives and U.S. businesses, and facilitated future commercial opportunities."
