We guide investors, both local and foreign, to fill the supply chain gap. Foreign investors can now own 100% of their local investment and leverage the Kingdom’s strategic location, robust logistics infrastructure, incentives, and cost-competitive factors. Our strategy also places great emphasis on the participation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs). In the global defense industry, prime contractors and SMEs play different yet equally important roles. Currently, there are only a few SMEs in the sector, however, our Ahmad Al-Ohali Industrial Participation Program aims to increase this Governor of General Authority for Military number and encourage SMEs to produce parts and Industries (GAMI) components vital to the industry. Our third pillar is research and technology (R&T). There is a strong correlation globally between defense R&T spending and successful and sustainable industrial localization.

The country remains deeply fractured, with the growing presence of armed groups and deep-rooted corruption exacerbating the impact of the armed conflict for ordinary Yemenis within both Houthi-held areas and liberated governorates. Although there has been activity on some fronts, notably along the coast of the Red Sea, the ground war remains predominantly confined to relatively small areas. Most Yemenis therefore carry on with their lives within an economy broken by the distortions of conflict.
