AECOM (NYSE: ACM), the global leader in infrastructure solutions, has entered a strategic partnership with Special Integrated Logistics Zones Company (SILZ) to support the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s transformation into a global logistics hub. The collaboration is aimed at accelerating the development of Riyadh Integrated, SILZ’s flagship logistics zone, in alignment with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
Located just eight kilometers from King Khalid International Cargo Village, Riyadh Integrated is a purpose-built logistics zone designed for high-growth sectors such as information and communications technology (ICT), pharmaceuticals, and aerospace. It offers world-class infrastructure, pre-built and build-to-suit facilities, and direct access to key transport corridors.
AECOM will provide project management consultancy and strategic advisory services, helping ensure the delivery of cutting-edge infrastructure that meets global standards and supports foreign investment.
“As SILZ Company transforms the integrated logistics landscape in Saudi Arabia, we’re proud to serve as their trusted advisor,” said Hamed Zaghw, Chief Executive of AECOM’s Middle East and Africa region.
“This partnership with AECOM is instrumental in translating our bold vision into action,” added Dr. Fadi Al-Buhairan, CEO of SILZ Company. “It ensures Riyadh Integrated becomes a dynamic, future-ready ecosystem and a vital artery for global trade.”
With long-term tax incentives, 100% foreign ownership, and a one-stop regulatory framework, Riyadh Integrated aims to become the premier destination for logistics and investment in the Middle East.
This strategic collaboration underscores AECOM’s role in supporting sustainable infrastructure and economic diversification, further solidifying its presence in the Gulf region.
