G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance Summit

The G20 Young Entrepreneurs’ Alliance (G20 YEA) Summit is an annual event that brings together young entrepreneurs and business leaders from G20 member countries. It was established to foster innovation, collaboration, and economic growth by providing a platform for networking and policy advocacy. The summit allows emerging business leaders to engage with global decision-makers and contribute to the G20 dialogue on entrepreneurship.

Saudi pavilion

The Saudi pavilion is a national exhibition space featured at global events like World Expos, designed to showcase the Kingdom’s culture, heritage, and future vision. Historically, its most notable iteration was at Expo 2020 Dubai, where its groundbreaking vertical massing and immersive journey through Saudi landscapes drew international acclaim. These pavilions serve to promote tourism, investment, and the ambitious goals of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

Vision 2030

“Vision 2030” is not a physical place but a strategic framework and national transformation program launched by Saudi Arabia in 2016. Its history is rooted in the nation’s goal to diversify its economy and develop public service sectors, reducing its dependence on oil. The vision outlines ambitious long-term goals for economic, social, and cultural development to be achieved by the year 2030.
