He highlighted the Future Factories program, which aims to transform 4,000 factories into automated facilities through private and international sector collaboration.

He added that the mining sector is also undergoing a significant digital leap, citing the Mansourah and Massarah mines as the first fully digital mine in the Middle East.

The two gold mines, located in Al-Khurmah governorate of Makkah province and managed by ֱn Mining Company (Ma’aden), supply ore to a plant capable of processing up to four million tons annually. 

Alkhorayef also announced the launch of a digital services platform for exporters by the Saudi Export Development Authority. This platform will unify government export services under a single digital umbrella, streamlining the exporter’s journey and accelerating the growth of national exports.

Alkhorayef concluded that the ministry’s digital transformation reflects its commitment to building a diversified and sustainable industrial economy aligned with Vision 2030.
