He noted that Think Big’s expansion in Saudi Arabia aligns with Vision 2030’s goals to diversify the economy and reduce oil dependency. The company plans to bolster logistics infrastructure by establishing centers in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam to facilitate trade. Additionally, it aims to support local industries, such as petrochemicals and agriculture, and collaborate with government initiatives on projects like NEOM and the Red Sea.
Kamal highlighted the UAE’s status as a key logistics hub, with Think Big aiming to provide integrated sea, air, and land freight services and build partnerships with industry leaders like DP World. The company also plans to adopt eco-friendly, sustainable logistics practices to reduce environmental impact. While noting current geopolitical challenges in the Middle East, Kamal sees them as temporary, urging continued efforts to expand and prepare for future opportunities.
