SPARK CEO noted that the company was positioned to become the region’s central platform for advanced industrial and energy technologies.
Furthermore, he indicated that SPARK’s proximity to the Kingdom’s core energy infrastructure and its access to ports on the Arabian Gulf are designed to create an integrated manufacturing and export corridor. SPARK’s mandate is to enable investors to build long-term industrial capabilities within the Kingdom, he noted. Meanwhile, Smart Mobility CEO Prince Fahad said the decision to establish the plant at SPARK was deliberate and strategically planned. He also noted that EV charging should be treated as national infrastructure and developed in parallel with the Kingdom’s broader energy system. Prince Fahad bin Nawaf added that SPARK serves as the Kingdom’s primary hub for energy, logistics, and industrial innovation.
