Web3 Alliance of Saudi Arabia launches to accelerate blockchain innovation in the Kingdom
Today marks the official launch of the Web3 Alliance of Saudi Arabia (WASA), a groundbreaking initiative uniting key leaders in blockchain technology and digital innovation to drive the adoption of Web3 technologies in alignment with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, fostering economic diversification and technological advancement across the Kingdom.
Founded by global Web3 pioneers The Sandbox, Animoca Brands, and Outlier Ventures, WASA aims to create a collaborative ecosystem that empowers businesses and drives sustainable growth within Saudi Arabia by building on their previous initiatives and investments to advance the region's digital landscape.
The alliance's distinguished board is composed of industry leaders and experts based in Saudi Arabia, actively driving the Kingdom's digital transformation. Supported by both international and local companies, these experts - including Dr. Abeer Al Humaimeedy, Yasser Alobaidan, Omar Elassar, Dr. Majid Almansouri, Wajd Badawi, Billal Yamak, Vincent Li, Bandar Altunisi, Ali Alasiri, and Stephan Apel - are deeply engaged in advancing innovation within the country.
"The Web3 Alliance of Saudi Arabia represents a crucial step forward in realizing the Kingdom's vision for a digital future," said Billal Yamak. "By bringing together expertise from both local and international leaders in the blockchain space, we're creating a powerful platform for innovation and growth."
The alliance will focus on four key pillars:
Awareness and Education through workshops, seminars, and conferences
Development of Standards and Best Practices
Networking and Collaboration opportunities
Research and Development initiatives
Operating as a non-profit organization, WASA will serve as the primary advocate for Web3 technology in the region, working independently to promote innovation rather than individual companies or entities.
The alliance's governance structure includes a General Assembly and an Executive Committee, ensuring transparent and effective leadership. A comprehensive digital infrastructure and marketing strategy will support the alliance's mission to connect and empower the Web3 community throughout Saudi Arabia.
Web3 enthusiasts, corporations, and industry leaders are invited to join the alliance and have a say in shaping the future of the Web3 ecosystem in Saudi Arabia. For more information about the Web3 Alliance of Saudi Arabia and membership opportunities, visit saudiweb3alliance.com and LinkedIn.

Mepco unit breaks ground on tissue manufacturing facility at Saudi's KAEC
Middle East Paper Company (Mepco), one of the largest paper manufacturers in the region, has announced that its key unit - Juthor Paper Manufacturing Company - has broken ground on TM6 - the second production line for tissue manufacturing at King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC) - near Jeddah. TM6, which is being set up at a total investment of SAR345 million ($92 million), will significantly expand Juthor's manufacturing output, increasing annual capacity to 120,000 tonnes and operating at a speed of 2,100 m per minute. Andritz, an Austria-based international technology group, will be assisting Juthor in the project by providing advanced plants, equipment, services, and digital solutions, to the group. It will also be responsible for the manufacture, supply, and installation of the facility within a two-year period.

The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by senior representatives from different government and private entities like Modon and Economic Cities and Special Zones Authority along with the Juthor and Mepco senior leadership teams. Commenting on the launch, Musab Al-Muhaidib, the Chairman of the Board at Mepco Group, said: "The launch of TM6 is a testament to our unwavering belief in Saudi Arabia's industrial future. As we align with Vision 2030, this expansion strengthens our role in enabling local manufacturing and advancing the Kingdom's self-sufficiency in the tissue sector." The facility will utilise cutting-edge technology and sustainable manufacturing methods to align with Mepco's environmental goals, including efficient resource use and minimizing carbon emissions," he stated. Mepco Group President Eng. Faisal Haddawi said: "We do not simply build capacity - we build value, resilience, and trust. TM6 will accelerate our strategy for sustainable growth while deepening our contribution to the Saudi economy and regional markets." Juthor remains committed to continuous investment in manufacturing innovation to meet the growing demand for high-quality tissue paper products in the Kingdom and the wider Mena region, he added.

IMF raises forecast for Saudi GDP growth to 3.5% in 2025
The International Monetary Fund on Thursday raised its 2025 GDP growth forecast for Saudi Arabia to 3.5% from 3%, partly on the back of demand for government-led projects, and supported by the OPEC+ group's plan to phase out oil production cuts. Lower oil prices have weighed on Saudi Arabia's revenue, with the kingdom projected to post a fiscal deficit of around $27 billion this year. Still, the kingdom has pushed forward with spending on a massive economic transformation program known as Vision 2030 that aims to wean the economy off its dependence on oil. Under the program, Saudi Arabia has invested heavily in sports, tourism, and entertainment in recent years. Government spending and domestic demand are expected to fuel growth despite lower oil prices. "Robust domestic demand - including from government-led projects - will continue to drive growth despite heightened global uncertainty and a weakened commodity price outlook," said the IMF report. Saudi Finance Minister Mohammed Al-Jadaan said the kingdom would "take stock" of its spending priorities in response to a significant decline in oil revenue, the Financial Times reported in May. Still, the kingdom is committed to hosting several large international events, each of which requires significant spending on construction and development. These include the 2029 Asian Winter Games, set to feature artificial snow and a man-made freshwater lake, and the 2034 World Cup, for which 11 new stadiums will be built and others renovated. The kingdom's fiscal deficit will largely be financed by borrowing, said the IMF report. Saudi Arabia was the largest emerging market dollar debt issuer last year, but the kingdom has room to continue borrowing, with its net debt around 17% of GDP, making it one of the least indebted nations globally, according to the IMF. The IMF had lowered the kingdom's GDP growth forecast to 3% in April from an initial January estimate of 3.3%. The fund on Thursday added that non-oil real GDP growth is projected at 3.4% in 2025, about 0.8% lower than last year. (Reporting by Pesha Magid; Editing by Jan Harvey)
