Separate in-person briefings by each of the project developers were given to His Majesty during the 30-minute ceremony. The briefing provided by the Arabia One team focused on the constructive outcomes of the Arabia One development, including local job creation, skill development and most importantly the conception of bankable local project developers, asset managers and plant operators.
