ROSHN Group, Saudi Arabia’s leading real estate developer and a PIF company, has signed a three-year agreement with the World Economic Forum (WEF), according to a ROSHN press release issued today. ROSHN will join WEF as an Associate Center Partner.

According to the release, ROSHN and WEF will look to engage in areas of shared interest through WEF’s centers, such as the Centre for Urban Transformation, to achieve impact and accelerate the region’s development.

ROSHN will look to engage with centers that are relevant to the group and its mandate of transforming urban development and community building through innovation and sustainability.

Through this strategic partnership, ROSHN’s executives will seek to engage with 870 of WEF’s global partners from the private sector and participate in WEF’s expert communities, such as the Commission on Nature-Positive Cities, the Council on the Connected World, and the Global Futures Council on the Future of Cities, to contribute to developing model policies and tools to
drive global impact and champion new initiatives.

This mutually beneficial partnership will provide ROSHN with access to this global forum of knowledge and progress, while sharing its own insights and knowledge gained from its mandate to transform how people live and work in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia through its developments and communities, according to the release.

‘We are excited about the possibility of pushing the boundaries of community building and development through our partnership with the World Economic Forum,’ said ROSHN Group’s Chief Marketing and Communications Officer Ghada Alrumayan.

‘Our goal is to reimagine the future of urban living and contribute to raising the quality of life for the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and its citizens, and we look forward to sharing our experience with other like-minded organizations and telling our story to new audiences internationally through the World Economic Forum,’ she added.
