UK-Saudi Investment & Partnership Summit 2026

The Saudi British Joint Business Council (SBJBC) is delighted to announce the UK-Saudi Investment & Partnership Summit 2026, set to take place on 8 June at Banqueting House in London.

The UK-Saudi Investment & Partnership Summit returns in 2026, convening over 350 senior delegates from government, investment, and industry to explore the next chapter of economic collaboration between the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Bringing together ministers, policymakers, investors, family offices, and global business leaders, the Summit provides a high-level platform to examine the opportunities shaping the UK-Saudi economic corridor. From strategic investment and infrastructure development to emerging sectors such as artificial intelligence, culture, and the creative economy, the programme will highlight the areas driving growth and partnership between both nations.

Delegates will benefit from exclusive networking opportunities, high-level ministerial discussions, and expert-led panels, designed to foster knowledge exchange, unlock new investment opportunities, and strengthen long-term commercial partnerships.

More than a conference, the Summit offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with key decision-makers, gain firsthand insight into evolving regulatory and market landscapes, and position organisations at the forefront of one of the world’s most dynamic bilateral investment relationships.

Driving the Future of UK-Saudi Partnership

Over the past five editions, the Saudi British Joint Business Council (SBJBC) has proudly hosted the largest ministerial-led Saudi business delegations to the United Kingdom, establishing the Summit as the leading platform for UK-Saudi commercial dialogue.

In 2026, the Summit will once again bring together senior leaders from government, investment, and industry to explore the opportunities emerging from Saudi Arabia’s economic transformation and the UK’s global strengths in finance, innovation, education, and the creative industries.

This year’s programme will examine the sectors shaping the future of bilateral cooperation, with discussions focusing on:

Cross-border investment and private capital
Sustainable infrastructure and next-generation cities
Human capability and the future of work in the age of AI
Culture, heritage, and the rapidly expanding creative economy

Together with our government partners and leading sponsors, the Summit will provide a deeper exploration of the opportunities driving investment flows between both Kingdoms and the partnerships that will define the next phase of UK–Saudi economic collaboration.

The 2026 Summit programme is currently being developed in close collaboration with government stakeholders, strategic partners, and industry leaders across both the United Kingdom and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

Key themes of the day will include:

Sustainable Infrastructure & Next-Generation Cities
Examining the delivery of large-scale urban developments, giga-projects, and cultural destinations, and how sustainability, technology, and heritage are being integrated into the design and execution of future cities.
Artificial Intelligence, Skills & Workforce Transformation
Assessing how AI and emerging technologies are reshaping labour markets, education systems, and enterprise learning, and how governments and businesses can collaborate to build agile, future-ready workforces.
Culture, Tourism & the Creative Economy
Highlighting the rapid growth of Saudi Arabia’s cultural and creative sectors, and the increasing role of tourism, entertainment, and heritage-led development as drivers of economic diversification and global engagement.
UK-Saudi Strategic Partnership & Sector Collaboration
Identifying practical pathways for deeper bilateral cooperation across priority sectors, supported by policy alignment, institutional collaboration, and long-term investment frameworks.

The Summit is designed to convene senior decision-makers and enable tangible outcomes, from investment partnerships and capital allocation to the delivery of strategic projects across both markets.
