Saudi Arabia has launched a national biotech strategy in an effort to become an international biotech hub within the next 16 years. The strategy is part of a broader project, dubbed Vision 2030, which also aims to position the country as a biotech leader in the Middle East and North Africa region by 2030. The National Biotechnology Strategy will advance Saudi Arabia’s capabilities across four main areas: vaccines, bio-manufacturing and localization, genomics and plant optimization.
