The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources is a government ministry in Saudi Arabia responsible for developing the industrial sector, managing the KingdomâÂÂs mineral resources, and promoting sustainable economic growth.
The Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources was established on 30 August 2019, following the division of the Ministry of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources into two separate entities: the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources.
The ministry was created to promote industrial development, manage the KingdomâÂÂs mineral resources, and support economic diversification beyond oil.
In 2021, the ministry founded the Future Minerals Forum, Saudi Arabia's first-ever international event focused on the development of the mining and minerals sector.
