DAMMAM – France is keen to offer technology and services covering entire gamut of mining sector from exploration to downstream industries in the wake of Saudi Arabia’s plan to transform its nascent mining industry into the “Third Pillar” of the economy after oil and petrochemicals.
A high level mining delegation from France led by Michael Gelenine, Commercial Counselor (Ubifrance) of French Embassy in Riyadh, visited Eastern Province Chamber of Commerce and Industry here Wednesday and introduced its newly developed technology called ‘StruxureWare’ for mining, minerals and metals in Saudi Arabia. The delegation was represented by a number of leading French companies like Alcatel Lucent, Magellium, Technip, Thales, Veolia, PMG Consultant, MCS Mining and Schneider Electric.
During a meeting with the local businessmen, Schneider Electric introduced its newly developed technology and said that it was a comprehensive suite of applications that optimizes production operations to reduce costs and improve sustainability within the mining, minerals and metals operations. “This is the newest addition to our software, noted a representative of Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management.
MCS Mining, a newly established joint venture between Modern Chemicals Co. of Saudi Arabia and EPC Groupe from France offered its drilling, blasting and explosive products and services from its two manufacturing sites in the Kingdom. “We are able to cover the entire Saudi market,” said Jean Francois Couvrat of the company.
In addition, French delegation represented an assortment of products and services in mining, oil & gas, petrochemicals, engineering, construction, project management, consultancy and banking services.
Mohammed T. Radwan of the Chamber, in a presentation, focused on investment opportunities in Saudi Arabia particularly in the Eastern Province since it was a strategic location serving as a transit point to other GCC markets.
He said that Saudi Arabia is the largest recipient of FDI in the Arab world and its Eastern Province is the largest in the country in attracting FDI. Eastern Province received $14.582 billion, nearly a third of the Kingdom’s total investment, during the two-year period ending in the third quarter of 2013.

In a move to enhance career prospects for young Saudi graduates, the Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University (IMSIU) recently organized a Career Day and Employment Expo on its premises with the participation of various companies and institutions.
“The Career Day and Employment Expo contributes to creating career opportunities for Saudi students where they can identify job opportunities based on their skills and knowledge,” Rector of the Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University (IMSIU) Prof. Suleiman Aba Al-Khail said yesterday prior to the opening of the expo at the IMSIU campus.
In a statement Aba Al-Khail said the four-day event organized by the IMSIU reflects the desire of the university to achieve the aspirations of the leadership of this country that would contribute “to creating career opportunities that suit the needs of our students and the Saudi labor market.”
Aba Al-Khail said that a Center for Employment Services and Business Entrepreneurship has been established at the University to organize such events with the participation of various companies and institutions to offer employment and training opportunities to IMSIU graduates.
The first and second day of the event are allocated for male students while the third and fourth are for female students where they will have direct, face-to-face contact with firms that would offer job opportunities to them.
“This event also serves as a platform to create awareness about careers and educate the graduates on methods of searching for jobs electronically during which companies may conduct a personal interview with them,” he explained.
Aba Al-Khail sees such events as providing cooperative training for students in the companies under their training programs which identify the graduates’ needs.
The rector noted the clear directives of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah for the creation of jobs for the country’s sons and daughters, meet their employment needs and their active participation in the developments taking place in all fields.

The government is spending insane amounts of money on education which is the only right thing. Soon that investment will show.
I have a few saudi friends that havn't got the scholarship money yet. The government said that they would get it but they never did. One of my friends dad is an ambassador and he got it right away just like the other diplomat kids I know.
I will delete post after I get a response.
They are studying but they haven't received it yet. except the guys with connections of course.Strange.
The government is spending about $5.3 billion for the 65.000 or so Saudi Arabian students that are studying at US universities. But I am sure that mistakes are sometimes made and I hope that their problem will be solved. Maybe they are not eligible for receiving scholarship money due to them not studying at this moment of time?
I don't know anybody who had those problems.
No problems at all. Post wherever you want to post. It's a free forum after all.
