Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Policy 2025-2035

Creating a Global Hub for Investment and Innovation

The KAEC Special Economic Zone (SEZ) Policy 2025 is designed to position the state as a global hub for investment, innovation, and export-driven industrial growth by establishing world-class SEZs. This policy aims to create a competitive business environment that attracts foreign direct investment (FDI), boosts exports, and optimizes the use of local resources.

Targeting key sectors such as IT/ITES, biotechnology, electronics, automobiles, food processing, pharmaceuticals, and tourism, the SEZ Policy provides exceptional infrastructure, a streamlined business environment, and attractive incentives to draw both domestic and international investors.

Vision for 2035

KAEC as a Leading SEZ Destination

By 2035, KAEC aims to be globally recognized for its leadership in SEZ development, hosting a diverse range of SEZs tailored to various industries. The state strives to become:

  • Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s leading SEZ destination, making a significant contribution to national exports and industrial growth.
  • A global hub for high-tech manufacturing, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, and IT/ITES sectors.
  • The preferred destination for international investors, offering seamless infrastructure, state-of-the-art facilities, and compelling incentives.

Ease of Doing Business

Simplified Procedures

KAEC will implement a set of measures to minimize bureaucratic hurdles for businesses operating within SEZs:

  • Single-Window Clearance: A three-tier single-window clearance system will expedite approvals for all licenses, permits, and clearances related to SEZ activities.
  • Nodal Agencies: The Industries Department will serve as the primary nodal agency for SEZ projects, with specific line departments supporting sector-specific proposals.
  • Public Utility Services: SEZs will be designated as Public Utility Services, ensuring preferential treatment and enhanced security for companies operating within them.
  • Development Commissioner (DC): A dedicated Development Commissioner will be appointed for each SEZ to oversee operations and address compliance and infrastructure-related concerns.

A Family-Friendly Destination for Expatriates

KAEC’s SEZs are thoughtfully designed to be inclusive, family-oriented communities that meet the needs of expatriate families from Japan, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Middle East, and America. Featuring top-tier educational institutions, cultural integration initiatives, and ample recreational spaces, these SEZs will provide an environment where children can excel academically and socially while staying connected to their cultural heritage.

By prioritizing the well-being and development of expatriate children, KAEC seeks to attract and retain top global talent, establishing the state as a prime destination for foreign investment and skilled professionals.

KAEC is the Bridge Between the
Global North and the Global South.
