The Saudi-US Investment Forum will be held on May 13, 2025, on the occasion of the state visit of the US President, Donald Trump, to Saudi Arabia.
The forum will take place at the King Abdulaziz International Conference Center in Riyadh, drawing senior Saudi and American investors to reinforce the bilateral partnership that has evolved over nearly a century.
The Saudi-US Investment Forum’s program will cover a wide range of fields, including clean energy; technology and artificial intelligence (AI); advanced manufacturing; financial services; venture capital and innovation; aerospace and defense; and healthcare and life sciences.
The event will feature ministerial dialogues, CEO panels, and exclusive executive roundtables, covering a variety of topics, such as green tech, digital infrastructure, biotech and defense.
Keynote speakers from Saudi Arabia include Energy Minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman; Sports Minister, Prince Abdulaziz bin Turki Al-Faisal; and Investment Minister, Khalid Bin Abdulaziz Al-Falih.

The Saudi-US Investment Forum serves as a significant platform for strengthening economic ties between Saudi Arabia and the US. This plays a key role in further strengthening the strategic relations between both countries which have flourished over the last eight decades since the first meeting between King Abdulaziz bin Saud and US President, Franklin D. Roosevelt, on the USS Quincy in 1945.
