MISSION
The mission of the Saudi Business Council (SBC) is to strengthen international economic cooperation by developing trusted institutional pathways between the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the global community.
As an independent, non-profit, private-sector association registered in the Kingdom of Spain, SBC promotes economic diplomacy, international cooperation, strategic partnerships, responsible investment dialogue, and knowledge exchange in support of the objectives of Saudi Vision 2030.
The Council exists to encourage structured, governance-based cooperation that enables qualified stakeholders to develop sustainable international partnerships founded on transparency, institutional alignment, and long-term value creation.

SBC was established in response to the growing need for structured international engagement with Saudi Arabia.
As the Kingdom advances its economic transformation under Saudi Vision 2030, governments, companies, investors, universities, development institutions, and international organizations increasingly require responsible and well-organized frameworks for international cooperation.
The Council's mission is to support this process by promoting informed dialogue, institutional understanding, and implementation-oriented collaboration that contributes to sustainable economic and social development.

- Focused on long-term impact
Every initiative undertaken by the Council is designed to strengthen institutional confidence while encouraging constructive engagement with Saudi Arabia through responsible governance and mutual respect.

- Trade and investment
