The initiative was launched in line with the Saudi Vision 2030 by Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman in March 2021 to encourage domestic production and services within the country.[1][2][3] It is enforced by the Saudi Export Development Authority through stylisation SAUDI MADE and is part of the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP).
