MIMR Services in
Saudi Arabia

Empowering Saudi Arabia's industrial revolution. We guide you through Industrial and Mining licensing, exemptions, and compliance via the Senaei and Taaden portals.

Start Industrial Setup

Saudi Arabia plans to triple its industrial output under Vision 2030, offering massive incentives for manufacturers. To operate a factory or mine, you must secure approvals from the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources (MIMR), unlocking benefits like duty-free raw materials and subsidized land.

Role of MIMR

MIMR is the primary regulator for the industrial and mining sectors. It grants licenses, supervises local content requirements, and manages duty exemptions to encourage domestic manufacturing.

Senaei & Taaden: Licensing is fully digitized. 'Senaei' manages industrial licenses and exemptions, while 'Taaden' is the dedicated portal for mining and mineral rights.
