MEDIA COVERAGE
Independent Media Recognition and Third-Party Publications
The Media Coverage section provides a curated archive of independent media reports, interviews, feature articles, and third-party publications relating to the Saudi Business Council (SBC), its institutional activities, strategic initiatives, and contribution to international economic cooperation.
As an independent, non-profit, private-sector association legally registered in the National Register of Associations (Registro Nacional de Asociaciones) of the Ministry of the Interior of the Kingdom of Spain under Registration Number 633101 and NIF G26608752, the Saudi Business Council recognises the important role of independent journalism and professional media in promoting informed public dialogue.
Unlike the News and Press Releases sections, which contain official communications issued by the Council, this section presents coverage published independently by newspapers, business publications, specialist media, industry journals, digital platforms, and other third-party organisations.
The inclusion of an article or publication does not necessarily imply endorsement of every opinion or statement expressed by its author.
Purpose
The purpose of the Media Coverage section is to provide a transparent and accessible archive of independent publications documenting the activities and institutional development of the Saudi Business Council.
The archive reflects the Council's growing engagement with governments, businesses, universities, investors, development institutions, international organisations, and media across multiple regions, while supporting greater international awareness of responsible economic diplomacy and the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
