This initiative focuses on identifying and nurturing opportunities for vehicle manufacturing in the MENA, GCC, and Africa regions. By leveraging existing industry structures, skilled human resources, and potential local partnerships, we aim to enhance local production capabilities and foster innovation. Key factors include perceptions of political stability, the importance of free trade agreements, and the need for improved R&D facilities. With a high demand for automobiles and infrastructure development, this initiative seeks to support job creation, technological transfer, and the establishment of a robust supply chain.
