​Saudi AMHUB

Connecting to our Industrial Future

What is Saudi AMHUB?

The Saudi Advanced Manufacturing Hub (Saudi AMHUB) is a collaborative platform for the Kingdom’s industrial stakeholders. It is part of the World Economic Forum’s Global Network of Advanced Manufacturing Hubs - regional centers of collaboration, aimed at tackling some of global industry’s most pressing challenges.

By pooling knowledge and expertise, Saudi AMHUB members can respond more effectively to sector issues such as geopolitical tensions, climate change and industry transformations triggered by the Fourth Industrial Revolution – the wave of new technologies that is changing the way we live, work and communicate.

How does it work?

Saudi AMHUB will act as a two-way valve, giving the Kingdom access to global best-practise and cutting-edge technical advances, while allowing Saudi industries to share their production and manufacturing expertise with the world.

AMHUB members enjoy access to case studies, success stories, technological insights and workshops, as well as opportunities for collaboration with global peers.

By interacting through these mechanisms, members of the Global Network of AMHUBs can learn from one another to help build more resilient and innovative manufacturing and supply systems.

• Saudi AMHUB will support the Kingdom’s industrial sector during its digital transformation, and position it to take full advantage of the opportunities offered by the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Strategy

Saudi AMHUB’s strategy is the result of a collaborative effort by the CEOs and leaders of its membership – the Core Champions that represent a cross-section of the Kingdom’s industrial sector.
The strategy is built on three priority areas:

1. Access to talent, skills gaps, and lack of incentives for workers
2. Support to SMEs to help accelerate their digital transformation journey
3. Technology transfer and innovations to upgrade manufacturing facilities
