Deutsche Bank Partners with Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia to Host Expert Connections Event, Supporting Vision 2030 Investment Goals

Deutsche Bank, in strategic collaboration with the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA) under the "Invest Saudi" initiative, hosted the inaugural Deutsche Bank Expert Connections event on April 9 – 10, 2025 at the Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh. This exclusive gathering underscores Deutsche Bank’s commitment to facilitating high-value investment opportunities for its global clients within the Kingdom, in full alignment with the objectives of Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

Led by Alexander Wynaendts, Chairman of Deutsche Bank’s Supervisory Board, the two days event convened 40 global ultra-high-net-worth clients, international investors, policymakers, and business leaders. The aim is to explore strategic investment opportunities across key sectors of the Saudi economy and forge impactful partnerships that drive economic diversification and sustainable growth.

Participants engaged in focused discussions and interactive sessions covering critical areas such as clean energy, mining, financial services, technology, tourism, housing, and real estate. Senior representatives from the Ministry of Investment, Public Investment Fund (PIF), Capital Market Authority (CMA), Ministry of Energy, Ministry of Tourism, and Ministry of Communications and Information Technology shared insights aimed at enhancing economic growth, attracting quality investments, and addressing challenges shaping the future of Saudi Arabia’s economy.

As a trusted partner to Saudi Arabia, Deutsche Bank is dedicated to supporting Vision 2030 through strategic, long-term partnerships that contribute to Saudi Arabia’s ongoing economic transformation and resilience. With a strong focus on wealth management, Deutsche Bank aims to connect global ultra-high-net-worth clients and family offices with the Kingdom’s rapidly growing investment landscape, providing tailored advisory services and unlocking new opportunities for growth.

Jamal Al Kishi, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for Middle East and Africa at Deutsche Bank, commented: “Saudi Arabia is pursuing a uniquely ambitious program for social and economic development and diversification. We at Deutsche Bank are proud to support Vision 2030 by connecting our global clients with some of the most promising opportunities in the Kingdom. This forum reflects our long-term commitment and dedication to partnering with Saudi Arabia on its journey toward enduring economic growth. We are truly grateful for the tremendous support provided by the Ministry of Investment at all levels, without which we wouldn’t have been able to conduct this important event”

Celebrating its 20 years of local presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia next year, Deutsche Bank looks forward to deepening its collaboration with Saudi stakeholders, empowering its clients to actively participate in one of the world’s most attractive and dynamic investment destinations.
