Newsweek and its partner Thinklink, has expressed a keen interest in collaborating with the Ministry
of Industry to promote investment opportunities between Saudi Arabia and the United States. This
letter aims to propose a conference and recap publication that would serve as platforms for sharing
knowledge and fostering collaboration in this area.Collaborating with the Ministry of Industry offers
several benefits for both Newsweek and the ministry itself. Firstly, it provides an opportunity to
leverage each other's resources and expertise, resulting in high-quality content and effective
dissemination of information. By pooling their respective knowledge bases, Newsweek and the
ministry can create a comprehensive conference program that covers various aspects of investment
opportunities between Saudi Arabia and the United States.

We seek to collaborate on organizing a conference that will serve as a platform for dialogue among
industry experts from both countries; we also aim to publish a recap publication (National and
International edition) highlighting key insights shared during this event. We believe that such
initiatives will not only attract more FDI into Saudi Arabia but also enhance bilateral relations
between our nations.
