TradeMalta recently led a successful business mission to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between May 2-8, 2025. This mission aimed to strengthen trade relations with the Kingdom and unlock new export and internationalisation avenues with the Gulf region.
This marked TradeMalta’s second official trade mission to Saudi Arabia, following a previous visit in 2022. This year’s delegation comprised nine Malta-based enterprises representing a broad range of sectors, including education and training, architectural services, healthcare, manufacturing, and ICT, reflecting the breadth and expertise of Malta’s export-oriented business community.
Throughout the week, the delegation participated in a series of high-level engagements including B2B meetings hosted by the Riyadh Chamber of Commerce as well as a market insight session at the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia. The programme also allowed for individual business meetings and follow-ups with prospective clients and partners.
Anton Buttigieg, CEO of TradeMalta, remarked, “Saudi Arabia is undergoing an exciting phase of transformation, and this mission provided valuable insight into the real opportunities across sectors aligned with Malta’s strengths. The level of interest shown in Malta-based companies was encouraging, and the visit enabled us to build new relationships and explore potential partnerships in one of the region’s most dynamic markets.”
TradeMalta remains committed to positioning Malta as a credible and capable partner for international business. Through such initiatives, TradeMalta continues to empower Malta-based businesses to internationalise by supporting their pursuit of sustainable international growth and long-term commercial success.
Businesses interested in expanding internationally are encouraged to reach out with their ideas and plans. TradeMalta looks forward to offering the guidance and resources needed to turn those ambitions into successful endeavours.
