There are still few biotech companies in Saudi Arabia, with the sector still at nascent stage. However, the government has set up many initiatives and program to transform the sector. Saudi Arabia has spent $3.9 billion in investment in R&D since 2021.
There is also the Medical Biotechnology Park (MBP), sited within KAIMRC state-of-the-art R&D building, and is a walking distance from the King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health and Science (KSAU-HS) and close to many hospitals and medical centers.
Other academic institutions such as King Abdullah International Medical Research Center (KAIMRC), King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) are supporting research in the sector.
Also, the Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in January 2024, has launched the National Biotechnology Strategy set to improve the Saudi’s capabilities in four key areas: vaccines, bio-manufacturing and localization, genomics and plant optimization.
This is connected to the Vision 2030 initiative, with the country aiming to become the MENA (Middle East/North Africa) leader in biotechnology by 2030, and an international biotechnology hub by 2040.
