The article focuses on a ten-year national Saudi plan aiming to localize industries and promote the transfer of knowledge and expertise from foreign investors to Saudi personnel. The program proposes granting investors land and energy at competitive prices, supporting the salaries of Saudi nationals in exchange for technology transfer and manufacturing. It outlines specific phases: learning, taking leadership, then developing and designing within industries that have a competitive advantage for the Kingdom. The article emphasizes the importance of retaining knowledge and expertise within the country, rather than merely importing machinery, and suggests that financial support should gradually diminish based on performance results to ensure the sustainability of industries and Saudi talent. It stresses that the success of this strategy should be measured by the factories' ability to sustain operations, develop products, and export with qualified Saudi staff—not just by the number of factories or jobs created.
