This aligns with the objectives of the National Industrial Strategy, which focuses on empowering key sectors and attracting high-quality investments in advanced industries.

Alkhorayef emphasized that Saudi Arabia has become a key center for producing electric vehicles, supported by modern infrastructure, attractive incentives, and a skilled workforce. He stressed that the presence of major companies like Lucid bolster the Kingdom's position as a global hub for future industries, boosting local content, non-oil exports, and knowledge transfer.

The ministry is committed to creating an investment environment that supports leading companies and enables them to contribute to industrial transformation and innovation, in line with the Kingdom's vision for a sustainable future driven by modern technologies, he added.

Lucid's inclusion in the "Made in Saudi" program, overseen by the Saudi Export Development Authority, aligns with the program's goals to enhance the appeal of the Saudi industrial sector, boost local product consumption, drive local and foreign investments, support local companies in expanding globally, increase Saudi non-oil exports, and promote economic sustainability.
