The Saudi Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources announced on Tuesday the launch of the Women in Mining Association, a newly established non-profit organization dedicated to empowering Saudi women in the mining sector and enhancing their contribution to the sector’s ongoing transformation.
The initiative reflects the ministry’s commitment to fostering the growth of non-profit organizations within the industrial and mining sectors, in recognition of their vital role supporting the Kingdom’s economic and social development.
The association will develop women’s capabilities and equip them with advanced, sector-aligned skills. It aims to create a more diverse and inclusive work environment while enabling women to take on active roles in the sector’s growth.
In addition to workforce development, the association will support women-led entrepreneurial and innovative projects in mining by offering financial and technical assistance. It will also promote innovative solutions that can drive further advancement and sustainability in the sector.
The launch of this association is part of a broader effort to align with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030, particularly those related to economic diversification, women’s empowerment, and strengthening national capabilities across all sectors.
