Salveo Paris

31 quai Anatole France - Paris 7

We are pleased to invite you to an exclusive event dedicated to the opportunities and challenges of investing in Saudi Arabia.

This event will highlight Saudi Arabia’s Free Trade Zones, offering unique tax and trade advantages for international investors.

We will also look at the new Saudization rules, which impose local labor quotas and aim to increase Saudi participation in the private sector.

In addition, we will discuss recent regional headquarters requirements designed to encourage companies to establish a significant presence in Saudi Arabia.

This event will be a privileged opportunity for investors, decision-makers and professionals to familiarize themselves with these regulations, and to discover the most appropriate mechanisms for seizing opportunities in this dynamic economy.
