RIYADH: The Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON) participated in the Transport Logistics Exhibition 2019 in Munich, Germany, held from June 4 to June 7 under the Slogan “Invest in KSA.” 

MODON’s participation was one of the initiatives of the General Investment Authority (SAGIA).

“The exhibition is of international interest due to the expected demand by experts and specialists and investors from around the globe,” said Bandar Al-Tuaimi, general director of marketing and institutional communication at MODON.

He said that the exhibition represented an opportunity to exhibit the qualitative characteristics of the investment environment in Saudi Arabia, and the high standard of services offered by MODON compared to those offered in other modern cities in the world.

AL-Tuaimi said that MODON provided logistical solutions that contributed to creating the optimum environment for localization of investments and provided opportunities for local industries to develop and expand. 

He said that MODON was working in collaboration with the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program toward realizing one of the pillars of the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 in transforming Saudi Arabia into a leading industrial power and a global logistics platform, taking advantage of its geographical position at the crossroads of world trade routes between the three continents of Asia, Africa and Europe.
