Despite a stated wish to see more participation from international companies and a tendency to favour the younger generation, Crown Prince MbS has entrusted the majority of giga-project contracts to Saudi companies that are decades old, mainly in private hands and often held by generations of the same family.
A collaboration between GSN and Diligencia has produced a list of local construction firms working on giga-projects in Saudi Arabia, together with their profiles and key stakeholders, to help sharpen understanding of those involved.
