Saudi Aramco is a prime driver of the Saudi economy – the overall petroleum sector accounts for roughly 86 percent of government revenue.
We also support economic development by promoting entrepreneurship and innovation, developing local content and helping to build a competitive workforce in the Kingdom. In recent decades, the Saudi economy has enjoyed a period of prosperity and stability. However, there are economic challenges in the Kingdom that must be addressed.
As a global energy supplier, Saudi Aramco’s business has a significant macroeconomic impact, which affects the growth and direction of the Kingdom’s economy.
To address these challenges, the Kingdom’s chief priorities are to stimulate economic growth and diversification by promoting local production of goods and services, supporting local manufacturers to create jobs for Saudi nationals and ensuring the Kingdom’s young people are equipped with skills that will allow them to participate in the growth of the economy.
In 2011, 274 entrepreneurs trained through Wa’ed, our entrepreneur development initiative. A total of 709 Saudi nationals were hired and some 90 percent of material procurement needs and 75 percent of service procurement needs met by local suppliers.
To put our commitment in context, around $23.1 billion in material and service procurement spending was awarded to local businesses.
We’re involved in a number of programs that help to support entrepreneurs and empower individuals.
Our commitments for 2012 and beyond include:
In 2011, Saudi Aramco’s corporate patent portfolio grew by 24 percent. Contributing to this achievement were the filing of 208 patent applications at international patent offices and 31 patents granted by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
We aim to continue our upward trajectory of innovating for the future, focusing even more intently on the value, not quantity, of the inventions being patented.
