About Saudi Industrial Development Fund - SIDF

The Saudi Industrial Development Fund (SIDF) is a Saudi government financial institution established in 1974 by Royal Decree to support the growth and development of the Kingdom's industrial sector. SIDF provides medium and long-term financing to industrial projects — including manufacturing, mining, and energy industries — through concessionary loans and financial advisory services. The fund plays a strategic role in advancing the Kingdom's industrial diversification agenda, supporting Saudi and foreign investors in establishing and expanding factories, processing facilities, and industrial operations. Over its history, SIDF has financed thousands of industrial projects across the Kingdom, contributing to job creation, technology transfer, and the development of a competitive non-oil industrial base as a core instrument of Vision 2030's industrial development strategy.
