The Saudi Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, Bandar Al-Khorayef, has embarked on an official visit to Germany to take part in K Show 2025, reported the Saudi Press Agency (SPA).
Al-Khorayef is leading a high-profile Saudi industrial delegation to the world’s prominent trade fair for the plastics and rubber industries, taking place from October 8-15, 2025 in the city of Düsseldorf.
The visit focuses on bolstering industrial cooperation between Saudi Arabia and Germany, exchanging expertise, and exploring opportunities for building effective partnerships that contribute to transferring advanced technologies and attracting investments to the Kingdom, in line with the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
As part of the visit, Al-Khorayef will launch the Saudi pavilion at K Show 2025. The pavilion will showcase the development of Saudi industry, available investment opportunities in chemical conversion industries, advanced manufacturing, and other priority industrial sectors, along with the incentives provided to investors.
Moreover, Al-Khorayef will tour the main Saudi and international pavilions, including SABIC and TASNEE. He will also visit the pavilions of German companies, such as AKRO-PLASTIC GmbH, to review the latest industrial technologies and the best manufacturing practices.
The Saudi Industry Minister will also co-chair a high-level roundtable meeting, alongside the CEO of Messe Düsseldorf, to review the promising opportunities in the Saudi industrial sector and the competitive advantages of the Kingdom’s investment environment.
Saudi Arabia and Germany boast robust economic ties. In 2024, non-oil trade between both countries reached SAR 39.07 billion, while German investments in the Kingdom exceeded SAR 14.62 billion, underscoring confidence in the Saudi investment environment.
