A milestone for Saudi exports, Neom’s Sindalah island resort, and MDLBeast's expansion

The TWENTY30 Co-hosts, Hanaa and Lucien discuss the importance of swords and good sportsmanship as Hanaa’s son heads to a weekend fencing competition (good luck), One very important side benefit from the Kingdom’s expansion of competitive sports opportunities for young people!

Turning the heat down on a very hot topic, Lucien dives deep into the world of air conditioners, highlighting an incredible success story in the ‘Made in Saudi’ Vision 2030 journey. The DEEPDIVE segment each episode is where the hosts explore and discuss and share thoughts on a topic to paint a fuller picture for listeners and viewers. Lucien’s deep dive shows us how FDI is paying off as Saudi manufactures and exports air conditioners in unexpected ways. Saudi Arabia is now building the air conditioning chillers through a joint venture company with the Fortune500 Johnson Controls, founded in 1883 in the USA.

Their investment is now paying off as the Saudi factory is building air conditioners for the Saudi and regional market – but most interestingly, the Riyadh based factory is now exporting these back to the USA to fill a supply gap!

The hosts then discuss key NEWS on Saudi – including defence collaboration between the US and Saudi, the launch of Beast House, Neom’s Sindalah island resort, and of course, golf – Lucien’s favourite.

Hanaa ends with a new Arabic word that will help Lucien and all the non-Arabic speaking listeners speak about unexpected life events.
