The Portuguese–Saudi Business Council (PSBC) had the honor of welcoming Portuguese companies participating in LEAP 2025 in Riyadh, during a networking reception organized by the Saudi–Portuguese Business Council (SPBC) with the active collaboration of PSBC.
The event, held on February 10th at the Narcissus The Royal Hotel, brought together over 120 participants, including representatives from Saudi ministries, institutions, and leading business organizations, as well as nearly 20 Portuguese companies eager to expand into the Kingdom. With the distinguished presence of H.E. Ambassador Nuno Mathias, the reception was widely regarded as a resounding success.
A special acknowledgment is due to Mr. Alwalid Albaltan, President of SPBC, whose leadership has been instrumental in building the economic bridge between Portugal and Saudi Arabia. His dedication has created new pathways for business opportunities and strategic partnerships.
The gathering underscored the growing momentum of Portugal–Saudi relations, with several Portuguese firms already initiating operations in Saudi Arabia. The involvement of high-ranking officials from four Saudi ministries and legal experts further highlighted the strategic importance of this engagement.
This milestone reflects the PSBC’s commitment to fostering investment, innovation, and long-term collaboration, reinforcing its role as a bridge for cooperation and sustainable growth between the two nations.
