Housing Minister: More than 133,000 firms in Saudi construction sector
RIYADH — Saudi Housing Minister Majid Al-Hogail said that the construction sector in Saudi Arabia has more than 133,000 establishments with over 1.6 million individuals participating daily in building a new reality: smart cities and integrated development. Al-Hogail noted that project management gives organizations greater predictability, responsiveness, and execution, and improves performance and raises the quality of achievement. He emphasized that Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 outlines an ambitious future that reshapes the economic, social, and development landscape. The minister explained that project management has become a strategic approach and an essential tool for leading change and achieving sustainable impact, and is no longer an executive option. He noted that the National Projects Council is playing a growing role in unifying efforts and enhancing performance. He added, "Government project management offices contribute to enhancing planning, follow-up, and governance practices, ensuring quality implementation and consistency with national goals." This came during his inauguration of the Global Project Management Forum (GPMF 2025), hosted by the capital, Riyadh. The GPMF is one of the prominent international events in this field, bringing together more than 13,000 specialists and interested parties from at least 100 countries. There will be 120 international speakers, 60 dialogue sessions and 16 training workshops. The event reflects the position that Saudi Arabia occupies in leading developmental and institutional transformations at the global level. © Copyright 2022 The Saudi Gazette. All Rights Reserved.

Muscat: Oman's growing focus on customer-centric business strategies will take centre stage later this month as the Oman CX Forum 2025 brings together industry leaders, innovators and decision-makers at the St. Regis Al Mouj Muscat Resort on May 28. Organised by Muscat Media Group in collaboration with Gulf Leaders Circle (GLC) and presented by Infoline, the forum will gather over 200 senior professionals from across sectors to explore how companies in Oman can elevate their customer experience (CX) strategies in an increasingly digital and competitive landscape. With customer expectations rapidly evolving, the event promises timely and actionable insights from a high-profile lineup of speakers, including CX heads, strategists and solution providers. Attendees will engage with key themes such as the integration of AI and automation in service delivery, personalisation of the customer journey, loyalty-building strategies, and the use of data to drive CX outcomes. Discussions will also focus on embedding a customer-first mindset across organisations, empowering front-line teams, enhancing emotional connections with consumers, and delivering high-impact service experiences. These conversations will be especially relevant to professionals from banking, insurance, retail, telecom, utilities, FMCG, healthcare, tourism, hospitality, education, and real estate—sectors where customer experience is increasingly seen as a key differentiator. A highlight of the event will be the Oman CX Awards 2025, where leading brands across 35 product and service categories will be recognised based on nationwide consumer voting. Winners will receive the prestigious Times of Oman Best Brand in Customer Experience Award. The evening will also honour select CX professionals for their role in advancing customer-centric practices in the Sultanate. Ahmed bin Essa Al Zedjali, CEO of Muscat Media Group, emphasised the strategic relevance of the forum: 'Customer experience is no longer a support function—it is now central to brand reputation and long-term success. The Oman CX Forum 2025 will not only celebrate those getting it right but will also serve as a platform for meaningful dialogue on how organisations in Oman can enhance the way they engage, serve and retain their customers.' The event is set to offer a valuable platform for networking, knowledge-sharing and recognising excellence, making it a must-attend for businesses looking to stay ahead in the CX space. © Muscat Media Group Provided by SyndiGate Media Inc.
