Bridge Pakistan (KSA)
The corridor to Saudi Arabia: SIA enterprises meet buyers and diaspora investors in the Kingdom.
Bridge Pakistan links SIA enterprises with buyers and diaspora capital in Saudi Arabia. It is part of Accelerate, SIA’s growth programme, where enterprises prepare to sell in new markets.
The route is simple to describe and hard to do alone: products made in Balochistan and across Pakistan travel to buyers in Riyadh and beyond. CONFIRM: the export route (for example, through Karachi). Bridge Pakistan helps with the introductions and the preparation.
An Arabic landing page is planned, so that buyers and investors in Saudi Arabia can read about the enterprises in their own language.

Why Saudi Arabia
A natural first export market
Saudi Arabia is home to one of the largest Pakistani communities abroad, and trade between the two countries is long established. For an enterprise from Balochistan, it is a natural first export market: close, connected, and full of people who already know Pakistani products.
Selling abroad is still hard for a small enterprise. Buyers expect steady quality, reliable delivery and the right paperwork. Bridge Pakistan prepares enterprises for that before it introduces them.
