SPIEF is an annual international economic event held in St. Petersburg, Russia. The forum brings together world leaders, business executives, investors, and academics to discuss pressing global economic issues and explore new pathways to growth.

As the world becomes more interconnected, it’s becoming increasingly important for Saudi Arabian businesses to expand their global reach and build relationships with companies and leaders worldwide. This is why events like the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) are valuable for Saudi businesses looking to connect with the global economy.

SPIEF is a unique opportunity for Saudi business leaders to connect with their peers worldwide and explore new avenues for growth. With attendees from over 131 countries, SPIEF provides an unparalleled opportunity to network and build relationships with global industry leaders.

At SPIEF 2023, one of the key topics to discuss is the attractiveness of Russian markets for foreign investment. After the departure of many European companies from the Russian market, the sectors of the Russian economy most affected by the breakup with Europe and the United States have become particularly attractive for investment. For Saudi businesses looking to expand their operations and invest in new opportunities, this presents a unique opportunity to explore new avenues for growth.

In particular, there is a surplus of raw materials and primary products of heavy industry, particularly steel, on the Russian market due to the breakdown of supply chains to Europe. This situation allows investors interested in buying raw materials to get good offers. In addition, investors thinking of investing not just in purchasing raw materials but in constructing facilities in Russia for subsequent links in the production chain can count on favorable conditions from the local authorities.

Moreover, according to recent research, many companies in key manufacturing industries in Russia critically need to replace components and assemblies, which means that companies need either new suppliers or new production facilities that require investment. At the same time, many Russian companies in key production sectors of the Russian Federation experience a serious shortage of qualified personnel and a scientific and technical base. This potentially opens another area for the exchange of specialists with foreign partners.

There is also a growing interest in increasing the supply of Russian food products and agricultural raw materials for Saudi Arabia. The trade turnover in this area amounts to 700 million dollars and has the potential to grow two or three times. Since Saudi Arabia imports most of its food, supplies of agricultural products from Russia are especially important.

Additionally, there is sufficient interest on the part of Russian companies to localize in Saudi Arabia and establish regional representative offices. For 2022, three Russian pharmaceutical companies, nine companies producing oil and gas equipment, two food processing companies, and three producing medical equipment have expressed this desire. In addition, several IT companies intend to create a joint venture to localize their products.

Finally, several Russian universities exchange students with Saudi universities; educational programs and experiences are being exchanged. This provides another opportunity for Saudi businesses to build relationships and explore new growth opportunities.

In conclusion, SPIEF 2023 is an excellent opportunity for Saudi businesses to build relationships and explore new opportunities for growth in the global economy. With a focus on the attractiveness of Russian markets for foreign investment, Saudi businesses have a unique opportunity to invest in new opportunities and expand their operations. By attending SPIEF, Saudi business leaders can connect with their peers worldwide and explore new avenues for growth.
