The event was attended by senior executives from more than 50 American companies, alongside a high-level Saudi delegation that included officials from over 10 ministries, government agencies, and private-sector companies.

The event reflected the shared commitment of both countries to advance economic cooperation to deeper levels and highlights the pivotal role of the US-Saudi Business Council in building bridges between the public and private sectors in both Saudi Arabia and the United States.
