Advanced Manufacturing Center Boosts Saudi Industry’s Competitiveness
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia — Saudi Arabia is taking decisive steps to integrate advanced manufacturing into its industrial strategy. The Advanced Manufacturing Center, launched by the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, is central to this shift. It marks a coordinated national move toward smart manufacturing aligned with Fourth Industrial Revolution standards. As a result, this facility supports Vision 2030 and the National Industrial Strategy by driving efficiency, innovation, and global competitiveness.
The center unifies industrial modernization programs under one umbrella. It works with government agencies, academic partners, and global tech firms. Through this, the smart manufacturing hub enables Saudi factories to upgrade operations using artificial intelligence, robotics, and data analytics.
Smart Manufacturing Hub Powers Industrial Transformation
The Advanced Manufacturing Center anchors the Kingdom’s efforts to localize intelligent production technologies. These tools improve factory efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen supply chains. Consequently, they advance national manufacturing capacity.
Through the “Factories of the Future” program, launched in 2022, the center plans to automate 4,000 Saudi factories. These high-tech production centers receive access to workforce training, financing, and consultancy services to accelerate digital transformation.
Advanced Manufacturing Center Supports Skills and Investment
Beyond automation, the center invests in human capital. Its Centers of Excellence provide hands-on training, consulting, and global knowledge-sharing. Therefore, local manufacturers can adopt industrial innovation platforms and meet international standards.
Additionally, these efforts improve investor confidence. A modern, tech-savvy industrial base is essential for attracting advanced manufacturing investments into Saudi Arabia.
Global Leadership Through Smart Industry Showcases
Saudi Arabia will host the Industrial Transformation Exhibition in Riyadh this December to strengthen visibility. Partnering with Hannover Messe, the event will highlight the achievements of the digital manufacturing complex. Moreover, it positions the Kingdom as a global player in industrial innovation.
The Advanced Manufacturing Center is not merely a support entity but a catalyst. Driving smart factory adoption and developing skilled talent underpins Saudi Arabia’s ambition to lead the Fourth Industrial Revolution across the region.
