“Our collaboration with Tsangs Group and HKAC embodies our commitment to furthering Vision 2030’s objectives by fostering investment partnerships in the technology sector and building a diverse and sustainable economy. Investment in technology and innovation is one of the most resilient tools, capable of addressing changes. This MoU marks a pivotal moment for ROSHN, highlighting our role in promoting growth and prosperity in the Kingdom. Hong Kong has long served as a gateway and hub for technological investment in the Asia-Pacific region, and we are enthusiastic about our contribution to transforming the Kingdom into a global technology hub. We eagerly anticipate a more interconnected world ahead,” commented David Grover, The GCEO of ROSHN Group.
“The HKAC has been at the forefront in promoting not only Hong Kong as the global business and investment hub of choice but also as a catalyst for commercial and friendship ties along the New Silk Road. This includes business ties with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the biggest Gulf economy, which has strongly supported the Belt and Road Initiative,” commented Patrick Tsang, Co-founder and Chairman of HKAC.
This partnership is expected to offer significant technological opportunities for both groups, paving the way for new avenues of collaboration and contribution in supporting innovation, economic diversification efforts, and reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s position as a global technology centre and fostering new piloting opportunities for Hong Kong companies A-Grade Energy Ltd, a renewable energy material and technologies company, and Rice Robotics Limited, a smart logistics robot services company.
ROSHN’s collaboration with Tsangs Group and HKAC aligns with its strategy to partner with esteemed global entities, reinforcing its commitment to the principles of trust, integrity, responsibility, opportunity, and empowerment. This partnership highlights ROSHN’s steadfast dedication to align with the aspirations of Vision 2030, fostering both the well-being and economic prosperity within its integrated communities as well as beyond.
