Leading global industry experts were in Riyadh recently to take part in a major forum hosted by Bloomberg that put spotlight on the challenges and opportunities presented by the kingdom’s transformative reforms and the role of technology in shaping its future.

The forum held under the topic ‘Transformation in Saudi Arabia: infrastructure and Transport’ took place at the Four Seasons Resort Riyadh last month. 

The event brought together experts who held discussions on the future of Saudi Arabia’s $500-billion five-year infrastructure pipeline and its impact on the banking sector.  It featured several interesting panels including discussions on the viability of battery electric-vehicles as a solution to greener transportation, alternative solutions to the infrastructure challenges, and the need for greater investment in charging infrastructure and green electricity.
