This bridge represents more than just a connection between two nations — it’s a symbol of innovation, opportunity, and collaboration. By bringing together Italian creativity and craftsmanship with Saudi Arabia’s vision and ambition, we’re unlocking new pathways for trade, technology, and cultural exchange.

Strengthening Our Collaboration with the Ministry of Investment

It was a pleasure visiting the Ministry of Investment once again, continuing our collaboration that aligns with a shared vision — empowering entrepreneurs, investors, and innovators to build a stronger global economy.

As the Founder of Founders Club, I’m proud of the meaningful partnership we’ve built with the Ministry — one focused on creating strategic investment opportunities, supporting startups, and bridging international networks that foster innovation and sustainable growth.

The Ministry’s commitment to transforming the investment landscape — from simplifying processes to encouraging global partnerships — is truly inspiring. Together, we’re working to make it easier for founders and investors to connect, collaborate, and scale.

Our joint initiatives are just the beginning. I’m excited about what’s next as we continue to expand this partnership and drive impactful outcomes for the entrepreneurial ecosystem.

🇮🇹🤝🇸🇦
Proud to share a meaningful milestone from my journey with the Founders Club Italy Chapter — helping build a bridge between Italy and Saudi Arabia across several high-impact sectors.

Over the past months, I’ve had the chance to connect founders and investors in technology, real estate, hospitality, and venture innovation, working closely with Italian ecosystem leaders, Saudi investment groups, and regional innovation hubs.

Through conversations with local venture partners, industry advisors, and government innovation representatives, we identified real opportunities for collaboration and cross-market expansion. Seeing both sides engage so openly and enthusiastically has been incredibly rewarding.

These ecosystems are evolving rapidly, and the potential for long-term collaboration is enormous. Being part of this early groundwork has been a privilege.
Grateful to everyone who contributed behind the scenes .

Always a pleasure reconnecting with Dr. Basma Al-Buhairan, Managing Director at C4IR KSA (Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Saudi Arabia) — a World Economic Forum affiliate driving the Kingdom’s transformation through innovation and emerging technologies.

Dr. Basma’s insights on responsible innovation, AI governance, and ecosystem collaboration are truly inspiring. Her leadership at C4IR KSA continues to play a pivotal role in aligning technology with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 — ensuring that progress and purpose go hand in hand.
Our conversation reinforced how critical collaboration across public, private, and entrepreneurial ecosystems is in shaping the future of tech and policy.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to exchange ideas once again — and look forward to exploring ways to build bridges between innovators and institutions that share the same mission of shaping a smarter, more inclusive future.

The older I get, the more I realize this:
Working with people you love working with is one of the biggest advantages you can have.
It impacts everything — your energy, creativity, motivation, and the quality of what you build.

When you work with people who inspire you, support you, challenge you, and genuinely want to win together:
Work becomes lighter
Ideas flow easier
Trust speeds everything up
Tough days feel manageable
Success feels shared, not isolated

Your team becomes your ecosystem — and that ecosystem shapes how high you can go.
If there’s one lesson I’d bet my career on, it’s this:
👉 The people you build with matter more than the strategy you build.
👉 Choose them wisely.

Surround yourself with people you love working with — it will change the trajectory of your work and your life.

Saudi Arabia’s The Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) has announced SAR 41 billion ($11 billion) worth of private investment opportunities as the heritage destination moves into its next phase of growth.

The plan marks a shift toward shared ownership with the private sector, targeting a 50/50 balance between public and private funding by 2030.

AlUla’s new wave of projects includes luxury hospitality, wellness tourism, and a SAR 1.2 billion film studio managed by Manhattan Beach Studios, all part of its broader goal to attract 1 million annual visitors within the decade.

Since its launch, AlUla has created 6,000 jobs and 5,000 new businesses, nearly half of which are women-led, positioning it as a model for inclusive and sustainable growth in Saudi Arabia’s tourism economy.

As it diversifies beyond heritage tourism into wellness, film, and creative industries, AlUla is quietly becoming one of the region’s most compelling investment stories.

For investors and operators looking at the Gulf, this is a strong signal. The shift from state-led to private-driven growth in Saudi Arabia is here.

If you’re exploring entry points or partnerships in the region, happy to share intros, DM me.

This visit comes after Saudi Arabia committed 600 billion dollars in US investments over the next four years, highlighting strong confidence and long-term partnership between the two markets.

For investors and companies, this signals exciting opportunities. With co investment possibilities, high growth sectors, and strategic partnerships, there are many avenues to engage in Saudi-US projects, from tech and infrastructure to energy and advanced industries.

Saudi Arabia’s business events sector is entering a major expansion phase with a 32% increase in event infrastructure and over 900 accredited venues now active across the Kingdom. Exhibition space has grown by 320 percent since 2018, creating a larger platform for tourism, conferences and commercial activity.

Riyadh, Makkah and the Eastern Province continue to hold the largest share of capacity, while emerging destinations including AlUla, Madinah, Asir and Najran are building out modern venues to meet rising demand. With global events such as Expo 2030 Riyadh and the Saudi Arabia FIFA World Cup 2034™️ on the horizon, the growth of this ecosystem is becoming a significant driver of new investment opportunities across hospitality, events, development and supporting services.

The Kingdom reached its initial 2030 tourism goal early, recording over 60.9 million visitors in the first half of 2025 and more than $43 billion in tourism spending. The upcoming International MICE Summit will bring together 2,000 global leaders to explore partnerships across these sectors as Saudi Arabia targets 150 million visitors.
