PwC opens new regional headquarters in Saudi’s Laysen Valley
Global professional services firm reinforces long-term commitment to Saudi Vision 2030 with largest Middle East Experience Center
RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (MNTV) — PwC, one of the world’s largest professional services networks, has inaugurated its new 22,400-square-meter regional headquarters in Laysen Valley, Saudi Arabia strengthening Riyadh’s position as a leading business hub for multinational corporations.
The announcement was made during the firm’s annual partners’ meeting in the Saudi capital, where executives reaffirmed PwC’s long-term commitment to the Kingdom through investment in people, innovation, and infrastructure.
The initiative offers a 30-year corporate tax exemption, withholding tax relief, and regulatory support to attract multinationals, reported Arab News.
Saudi Arabia’s Regional Headquarters Program has accelerated the inflow of global firms in recent years, with 600 international companies, including Deloitte, IHG Hotels & Resorts, and Northern Trust, already establishing bases in Riyadh.
“Our regional headquarters in Riyadh is more than just a building; it is an investment in the future. It has been designed to empower our people, enable our clients, and support the Kingdom’s Vision 2030,” said Riyadh Al-Najjar, PwC Middle East chairman of the board and Saudi country senior partner.
The new headquarters features the Middle East’s largest Experience Center, branded under the phrase ElDar Darak—“our home is yours”—positioned as a collaborative innovation space where clients, government, and partners can design and test new solutions.
The facility also includes a forensics lab, PwC Academy, Majlis, and wellness-focused workspaces, making it one of Riyadh’s most advanced professional services hubs.
PwC emphasized its role in workforce development, noting that 56 percent of its 2,600 professionals in Saudi Arabia are nationals.
Over the past three years, more than 2,400 Saudis have joined through PwC training programs, with 80 percent of female nationals placed on leadership development tracks.
Initiatives such as Hemam 2.0, aimed at youth skills development, and Foundation for the Future, designed to prepare graduates for leadership roles, underscore the firm’s long-term investment in talent.
“Saudi Arabia is home to one of PwC’s largest alumni networks in the region; with many nationals now leading across government, business, and cultural institutions,” said Hani Ashkar, PwC Middle East senior partner. “Our commitment goes beyond providing services; it is about developing talent, investing in infrastructure, and supporting the Kingdom’s transformation in ways that deliver lasting value.”
