SAAK International boosts localization of defense industries in the Kingdom in line with Vision 2030
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia continues its significant efforts to develop the military industries sector, as SAAK International has announced new steps aimed at enhancing the localization of defense electronics. This initiative comes in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which seeks to reduce reliance on foreign imports in this vital sector.
SAAK International specializes in manufacturing, assembly, and testing operations, in addition to the maintenance of precision electronic systems. The company is working to build local technical capabilities that contribute to supporting national security by providing advanced electronic solutions that meet the needs of the Kingdom's military and security sectors.
This step is part of a broader strategy adopted by the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI), which aims to localize more than 50% of the Kingdom's military spending by 2030. By localizing these industries, Saudi companies seek to transfer technical knowledge and train national personnel on the latest global technologies.
This expansion is expected to contribute to creating new job opportunities for Saudi youth in the fields of engineering and technology, while also enhancing the sustainability of defense systems within the Kingdom. These efforts underscore the commitment of national companies to supporting the local economy and achieving self-sufficiency in strategic industries.
