The Saudi Export Development Authority (Saudi Exports) has won Stevie Award in the annual International Business Awards in the Public Relations Awards category. Saudi Exports received the prestigious accolade for Corporate & Community - B2C Event for organizing the four-day Made in Saudi exhibition, which was held during Riyadh Season in February 2022. The exhibition brought together 190 entities from the public and the private sectors and featured more than 58 historical, cultural, and interactive events, attracting over 63,000 visitors of different nationalities and age groups.
Saudi Exports organizes regular exhibitions to expand the reach of local producers and exporters, and promote their products, facilitating their access to international markets. Demonstrating its commitment to its pivotal role, Saudi Exports continues to exert tremendous efforts to connect producers, exporters, and importers, and link them to consumers.
Speaking on this occasion, Saudi Exports CEO H.E. Eng. Abdulrahman Sulaiman Althukair said: “We take pride in receiving such a global award which underscores our consistent efforts to fulfill our mission. Ever since the launch of the Made in Saudi program in March 2021, we have worked relentlessly to strategically and effectively promote our quality local industry, aspiring to position the national product as the most preferred choice for local, regional, and global consumers. To this end, Saudi Exports is keen to keep up with the demands of both exporters and manufacturers by providing them with a suite of services and initiatives to develop export capabilities, improve the Kingdom's export environment, and promote Saudi industries. Laying the groundwork to boost the brand image of the national industry, we aim to enhance consumers' confidence and expand the reach of our national product into more markets while raising the share of non-oil exports of the non-oil GDP, thereby contributing to diversifying the national revenue sources in line with the aspirations of our astute leadership and Saudi Vision 2030's goals ."
