The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources (MIM) has joined the upcoming Aluminium Arabia event as a Strategic Partner.
The collaboration aims to reinforce Saudi Arabia’s industrial and mining ambitions under Vision 2030, the national strategy to grow new industries and reduce the country’s dependence on oil.
The event will take place in Riyadh from 11-12 November 2026, bringing together global industry leaders, policymakers, and key stakeholders.
Aluminium Arabia said the partnership underscores MIM’s role in driving industrial diversification, strengthening value chains, and positioning Saudi Arabia as a global hub for aluminium production and innovation.
In addition, it said MIM’s participation will provide high level strategic visibility and thought leadership, while supporting policy development and ecosystem enablement across the aluminium sector.
Through its participation, MIM aims to accelerate non-oil GDP growth by further strengthening the aluminium sector’s position as a targeted sector within the National Industrial Strategy, which targets a mining sector contribution of SAR 240 billion (approximately USD 64 billion) by 2030.
The platform will also highlight Saudi Arabia’s competitive advantages, including world class industrial assets such as Ma’aden’s Ras Al Khair complex, to attract foreign direct investment and global industry players.
The event is expected to facilitate B2B engagement, enabling partnerships, technology transfer, and the development of advanced manufacturing clusters.
It will also support job creation, skills development, and Saudization efforts within downstream aluminium industries.
In addition, MIM will leverage the platform to promote sustainable practices, strengthen international collaboration, and gain insights into global market trends and emerging technologies.
As a Strategic Partner, MIM aims to drive investment and strengthen connectivity and efficiency across the sector’s stakeholder ecosystem.
