Dr. Al-Qasabi, after the signing ceremony which witnessed the participation of the Saudi Ambassador to the Swiss Confederation Dr. Adel Siraj Mirdad, affirmed that the National Competitiveness Center seeks, through the agreements it concludes, to build strategic partnerships with organizations and centers for developing global competitiveness, to contribute to achieving the goals of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, which aims to improve the business environment and put the Kingdom among the 10 most competitive countries in the world.
The Center was represented at the signing of the agreement by the Deputy Minister of Commerce and CEO of the Center, Dr. Iman Al-Mutairi, who indicated that this agreement and other agreements reflect the center's keenness to benefit from various international experiences to ensure the adoption of the best methods and practices that lead to enhancing the competitiveness of the Kingdom globally.
IMD Director of the Global Competitiveness Center, Professor Arturo Bris, said that the agreement will work to enhance cooperation between the two sides, especially enhancing analytical expertise in the field of competitiveness.
Under the agreement, NCC will obtain advisory services from the institute, which includes a group of senior consultants specializing in management development, resident executives, human resources and talent management consultants, learning managers, and executive coaches, in addition to access to a wide range of knowledge from business sources around the world, through the institute's global knowledge platform.
