RIYADH, SAUDI ARABIA – The Saudi Authority for Industrial Cities and Technology Zones (MODON) has attracted new investments worth US$34 million (SAR130 million).

This will be used to localize military aircraft industries, including drones and provide repair, maintenance and overhaul services for ships.

Securing funding is one of the authority’s objectives, and seeks to promote investment opportunities in industrial cities among major local and international companies.

MODON signed two contracts to allocate two already finished factories specializing in manufacturing military aircraft, aircraft parts and drones, each on 700 square meters and with US$13 million (SAR50 million) in investment.

It also signed a contract to allocate 3,000 square meters of land for logistics with investments of US$8 million (SAR30 million) for the repair and maintenance of ships and the overhaul of military ships, boats, and vessels.

The contract also stipulates repair, maintenance and overhaul services for spare parts for military vehicles, aircraft and ships, as well as water filtration devices, train engines and valves.

The authority recently participated in the second edition of the World Defense Show 2024, held on February 4-8 in Riyadh.

According to MODON, the benefits of investing in its 36 industrial cities throughout the Kingdom include the availability of labor force, advanced infrastructure and logistical solutions that help achieve a competitive and sustainable industrial economy.
