The Government of Saudi Arabiahas adopted a “National Industrial Strategy” (NIS) which aims at developing acomprehensive roadmap to build an agile and competitive sustainable private-ledindustrial economy in line with Vision 2030. NIS has three strategicobjectives: (a) build industrial national resilience, (b) become an integratedregional manufacturing hub, and (c) expand global leadership in selectedsegments. The NIS covers twelve priority sectors including automotive, renewables, machinery and equipment and metals (steel, aluminum, copper, andtitanium). By looking at global trends, thetransition to low-carbon energy is transforming the landscape for countries touse their natural resources to contribute to economic development.Electrification of transport, decarbonization of industrial processes, and cleanenergy technologies for generation, transmission, and storage need morematerials than fossil fuel-based energy technologies. As a result, thedemand for minerals needed for the global energy transition—critical rawmaterials (CRMs)—is expected to grow exponentially and far exceeds current andprojected production. Today, the mining and refining of CRMs and themanufacturing of products that use CRMs are concentrated in a few countriescreating supply vulnerabilities along the value chain. There is room formineral-rich developing countries to realize new business opportunities, andthere is also room for other countries to position themselves in the midstreamand downstream segments of these important CRM value chains. The National IndustrialDevelopment Center (NIDC) is keen to attract industrial investment andestablish new industries to diversify the economy and meet the aspirations ofVision 2030.

This is a long-term initiative andunclear on when it will materialize, so ...
