We fully support the establishment of a robust, long-term strategic partnership between the two nations, which will not only reinforce regional stability but also inject new momentum into global supply chains, technological innovation, and balanced economic growth. By deepening bilateral collaboration, both countries can achieve broader and deeper synergies in energy, manufacturing, technological innovation, and high-end industries, contributing to global economic growth and sustainable development.”
Skytower CEO Eric Fang added, “We are honored to participate in this high-level Forum. His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman’s historic visit to the United States, coupled with his USD 1 trillion investment commitment, opens a new chapter for U.S.–Saudi cooperation in semiconductors and other strategic industries. The United States continues to lead globally in chip R&D and innovation, while Saudi Arabia, leveraging its strategic location, energy resources, and industrial ecosystem, is rapidly emerging as a hub for advanced manufacturing and technological applications.
