Advanced therapies campus to help turn Saudi into global biotech hub

17 June 2025

A strategic partnership has been announced to develop Saudi Arabia’s first fully integrated, modular advanced therapy medicinal product (ATMP) manufacturing campus.

The announcement was made at the ongoing BIO International Convention 2025 in Boston, USA, by the King Faisal Specialist Hospital & Research Centre (KFSHRC) and USA-based Germfree Laboratories.

KFSHRC’s main campus in Riyadh will be home to the new facility, which will serve as a critical milestone in advancing Vision 2030 and the National Biotechnology Strategy, two national initiatives aimed at turning Saudi Arabia into a global hub for life sciences, biomanufacturing, and to become a global biotech hub by 2040.
