Driving the Future: Vision, Innovation, and Impact

Q1: What inspired your involvement in EVS Saudi Arabia 2025, and why is this event important now?

A:  As Vice President of MIE Group, I’ve had the privilege of leading strategic platforms across emerging markets that connect businesses, governments, and investors through trade and innovation. EVS Saudi Arabia is not just another event, it’s our flagship initiative in the mobility space, inspired by the Kingdom’s bold transformation under Vision 2030. My background in building global platforms that enable cross-border trade and investment gave me a clear view of the potential within the EV sector. Saudi Arabia, with its progressive openness to global industry and firm commitment to ESG, climate action, and sustainability, provides the perfect environment to anchor such a future-forward platform.

Q2: How do you see Saudi Arabia positioning itself in the global electric and sustainable mobility movement?

Saudi Arabia is no longer a participant, it is becoming a global enabler. Vision 2030 has laid a strong foundation, and through giga-projects, international Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) partnerships, and heavy investment in R&D, the Kingdom is creating an innovation-led ecosystem. Saudi Arabia is establishing itself as a regional hub where industry, infrastructure, and government policy intersect to drive forward electric and sustainable mobility on a global scale.

EVS Saudi aims to serve as a long-term legacy platform supporting policy, industrial development, and market adoption across the Middle East. It’s not just a standalone event, it complements our broader EV and mobility portfolio across Africa and Asia, enabling year-round dialogue and investment opportunities. We want EVS to be remembered as a catalyst that supported the Kingdom’s EV roadmap, created business opportunities, and drove forward regional sustainability.

Industry Collaboration & Innovation Focus

Q1: What role does cross-industry collaboration play in accelerating sustainable mobility in the region?

It’s absolutely essential. The shift to sustainable mobility touches multiple sectors, energy, urban planning, tech, logistics and cannot be done in isolation. EVS acts as a collaborative bridge. Our network of global and regional partners, including associations, chambers of commerce, and government entities, enables us to bring together the right voices to drive real solutions and scalable partnerships.

Through platforms like EVS Saudi, we spotlight cutting-edge EV technologies, smart infrastructure, and sustainable transport solutions. We create opportunities for governments and businesses to explore innovation through curated business matchmaking, country pavilions, and executive roundtables that attract global capital and ideas.

Q3: What are the biggest challenges currently facing the EV sector in the GCC, and how can EVS Saudi help address them?

Challenges include harmonizing EV policies, scaling charging infrastructure, adapting to climate-specific requirements, and preparing the workforce. Local infrastructure still needs to evolve to fully support an EV-driven economy, but Saudi Arabia’s strategic push through Vision 2030 is addressing this head-on. EVS Saudi provides the space to align public and private agendas and share technical, financial, and operational solutions that accelerate readiness.

Q4: How do you see public-private partnerships evolving in Saudi Arabia’s mobility transition?

Public-private collaboration will define the success of this transition. The government is actively supporting Saudization, while also encouraging global expertise and partnerships. We're seeing cross-border companies setting up operations in the Kingdom with direct support. What’s more, mobility innovation is expanding beyond roads, Saudi Arabia is exploring electric transport for sea and air, signaling a holistic green mobility future. EVS Saudi is the forum where those visionary partnerships are launched.

Market Readiness & Consumer Awareness

Q1: What key factors are driving EV adoption in Saudi Arabia today?

Government-backed incentives, a rapidly improving infrastructure landscape, increasing availability of EV models, and growing public awareness are all contributing. Additionally, organizations such as Lucid Motors, Motory.com, Auto Data, Hala Auto, and I-Charge, all partners at EVS Saudi are actively advancing the ecosystem through education, accessibility, and innovation.

Q2: How can events like EVS Saudi help educate the public and build trust in electric mobility?
