ROSHN will join the World Economic Forum (WEF) as an Associate Center Partner. ROSHN and WEF will look to engage on areas of shared interest through WEF’s centres such as the Centre for Urban Transformation to achieve impact and accelerate the region’s development.

Through this strategic partnership, ROSHN’s executives will seek to engage with 870 of the WEF’s global Partners from the private sector and participate in WEF’s expert communities, such as the Commission on Nature-Positive Cities, the Council on the Connected World, and the Global Futures Council on the Future of Cities to contribute to developing model policies and tools to drive global impact and champion new initiatives.

This mutually beneficial partnership will provide ROSHN with access to this global forum of knowledge and progress, while sharing its own insights and knowledge gained from its mandate to transform how people live and work in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through its developments and communities. ROSHN will also look to build alliances and partnerships for collaboration and growth through the World Economic Forum by sharing the company’s vision for its transformational projects throughout Saudi Arabia.
