The Ministry of National Guard Health Affairs, in collaboration with the Ministry of Investment, is organizing the third edition of the Riyadh Global Medical Biotechnology Summit (RGMBS) 2024, taking place in Riyadh from November 10 to 12.

The event is held under the patronage of Prince Mohammed bin Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud, Crown Prince and Prime Minister.
The RGMBS aims to strengthen the national economy and promote sustainable development, aligning with the National Biotechnology Strategy launched by the Crown Prince this year.

According to SPA, this strategy envisions Saudi Arabia as a leading regional hub in biotechnology by 2030 and a global leader by 2040.
The summit will feature global experts and leading biotech companies from countries including the United States, United Kingdom, China, Republic of Korea, and Japan, as well as prominent academic institutions and organizations.
The previous summit resulted in 11 collaborative agreements with international entities in medical technology research and vaccine production. It hosted 68 speakers and attracted over 14,300 participants from 128 countries.

The global oil market is balanced thanks to the actions of OPEC+ countries and compliance with its quotas, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Friday following a Russia-OPEC meeting.
OPEC+ countries, which are pumping around half the world's oil, are taking all necessary decisions to maintain market stability, Novak also said after meeting OPEC Secretary General Haitham Al Ghais in Moscow.
"Today, while discussing the situation and forecasts, we assess the current market as balanced. That's thanks primarily to the actions of OPEC+ countries and coordinated actions to comply with the quotas, voluntary commitments of OPEC+ count," Novak said.
The meeting comes as OPEC+, which includes the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies such as Russia, prepares to meet on Dec.1.
