Biannual Programme Report
Jeddah and Madinah
4-6 November 2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Saudi British Joint Business Council convened its biannual programme in Jeddah and Madinah from 4-6 November 2025. The programme brought together senior business leaders, government representatives, and SBJBC members from both kingdoms to advance bilateral cooperation across multiple sectors aligned with Vision 2030.
The programme consisted of three main components: the biannual membership meeting, a tourism and hospitality roundtable, and an education partnerships discussion. Members gained direct insights into Jeddah’s development plans, tourism infrastructure, and education collaboration opportunities. The Jeddah Chamber of Commerce hosted the sessions, providing members with access to local business councils and government entities.
Key outcomes from the programme include identification of partnership opportunities in cultural tourism, hospitality training, technology solutions for enterprises, and real estate investment. Members expressed strong interest in family office services, education sector collaboration, and technology transfer programmes. The Council committed to expanding member engagement through quarterly updates, sector-specific events, and enhanced research offerings.
