Al Hokair: Vision 2030 spurs Nordic investment in Saudi Arabia's Growing Market

Saudi Vision 2030 significantly contributed to building an excellent reputation among Nordic European Countries

Riyadh – Sharikat Mubasher: Majid Al Hokair, Chairman of the Saudi Business Council of the Nordic European Countries in the Federation of Saudi Chambers said that Saudi Arabia managed to attract several companies from North European countries to open their headquarters in the Kingdom despite drastic geographic distance.

In an interview with Al Ekhbariya, Al Hokair added that this was a normal result of the confidence these companies grew in Saudi Arabia thanks to the huge momentum the Kingdom is witnessing these days in line with Vision 2030, which contributed a lot in building its excellent reputation among Nordic European Countries.

Al Hokair added that these companies are now searching for investment opportunities in the Saudi Market after a long history of weak economic exchange, thanks to significant economic incentives the Saudi Government provides to global investors as part of its Regional Headquarters Program (RHQ).

The RHQ program in KSA is a strategic initiative launched by the Saudi government as part of its Vision 2030 plan, aimed at diversifying the economy and reducing its dependency on oil. The program is designed to encourage multinational companies (MNCs) to establish their regional headquarters in KSA, specifically in Riyadh, to serve their operations in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

With this initiative, the Kingdom aims to position itself as a leading business and investment hub, fostering economic development, innovation, and job creation. This RHQ program is a collaboration between the Ministry of Investment of Saudi Arabia (MISA) and the Royal Commission for Riyadh City.

Mobility financing platform Naran secured $10mn to fuel expansions
Dubai - Sharikat Mubasher: The UAE-based mobility financing and fleet infrastructure platform, Naran, secured $10 million in equity and debt financing from Landel, a UAE-based investment firm, to fuel its expansion in the upcoming period.The new capital will support Naran in rolling out new fintech products, scaling its mobility fleet in Colombia, Peru, Senegal, and Côte d'Ivoire, and fueling its expansions into new markets across the MENA region, the company announced in a press release today.As part of its expansion strategy, Naran plans to open its technology stack to third-party fleet operators across its markets, offering fleet management software and internal automation tools as a SaaS product, and providing asset-backed debt financing for fleet expansion.Naran provides rent-to-own financing for cars and motorcycles, enabling independent drivers to access vehicles through flexible terms ranging from 12 to 60 months. It buys vehicles directly from manufacturers and partners with major ride-hailing and delivery platforms, including Yango and inDrive, to put underbanked drivers on the road. Bayaskhalan Alexeev, CEO and Co-founder of Naran, said: “We address a critical financing gap in emerging markets, where ride-hailing and delivery drivers cannot access traditional bank loans due to irregular income or limited credit histories. Our goal is to make vehicle ownership accessible to mobility entrepreneurs, helping them increase their income and build financial security. At the same time, we solve the biggest constraint for ride-hailing and delivery platforms in these markets: supply. Every vehicle we finance is an active driver added to our partners' marketplaces.”By 2030, Naran aims to operate across 10 countries, create 30,000 income opportunities, and deploy fleets of 10,000 cars and 20,000 motorcycles. The company's expansion creates opportunities for UAE-based innovation and cross-border business growth, bringing global market activity and revenue streams to the UAE ecosystem.
