Saudi Arabia Concludes Landmark BIO 2025 Debut as Kingdom Opens Doors to Global Biotech Collaboration
BOSTON, June 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Saudi Arabia has concluded its landmark debut at the BIO International Convention 2025, having signed more than a dozen partnerships, launched a national biotech accelerator program with Biolabs and established the Kingdom as a global hub for life sciences. Over four days, Saudi delegates showcased an ecosystem ready for collaboration across scientific discovery, clinical research, and advanced therapeutics.
The Kingdom's presence spanned the entire biotech value chain – from early research to manufacturing, from regulatory frameworks to commercialization pathways.
'Saudi Arabia is stepping into biotech with intention and scale,' said His Excellency the Vice Minister of Health for Planning and Development, Eng. Abdulaziz AlRamaih. 'Biotech sits at the intersection of our health transformation and economic ambition, and we are investing with that dual mandate in mind.'
Partnerships and Programs Take Center Stage
Throughout the week, Saudi Arabia hosted one of the most active national pavilions at the conference, convening more than 25 entities across government, research, investment and innovation. More than a dozen new memoranda of understanding were signed with international partners, including leaders in genomics, AI-enabled diagnostics, gene therapy, and biomanufacturing.
The Ministry of Health also formally launched its national biotech accelerator program in collaboration with BioLabs, welcoming an inaugural cohort of eight Saudi-founded biotech startups in areas ranging from protein engineering to precision genomics. The launch event brought together venture capitalists, researchers, and biotech executives to discuss the Kingdom's innovation momentum.
The Kingdom's Super Session at BIO 2025 featured senior representatives from the Ministry of Health (MoH), the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA), the Saudi National Institute for Health (SNIH), the King Abdullah International Medical Research Center (KAIMRC), the King Faisal Specialist Hospital and Research Centre (KFSH&RC), and the Public Investment Fund (PIF). The panel revealed how Saudi Arabia is coordinating across policy, clinical infrastructure, and public investment to create a biotech ecosystem built for scale and scientific depth.
In parallel, the delegation held more than 50 one-to-one meetings with global biotech firms and visited U.S. innovation hubs to explore collaboration in research, manufacturing, and translational medicine. The Kingdom also participated in a dedicated gathering for Saudi research talent studying in the United States, underscoring the Kingdom's long-term commitment to human capital in health and life sciences.
Advancing Genomics and Genetic Medicine
The Kingdom's ambition in genomics also drew significant interest. Through the Saudi Genome Program, the Kingdom has developed one of the region's most comprehensive population-specific genomic datasets, paving the way for earlier diagnosis, localized drug development, and new therapeutic approaches for inherited diseases.
National screening efforts – led by Saudi Arabia's Public Health Authority, Weqaya – are expanding access to genetic risk detection through prenatal and newborn programs. Institutions like KFSH&RC and KAIMRC continue to drive forward clinical trials and translational research, supporting a growing pipeline of personalized treatments rooted in real-world data.
Already, over 130 peer-reviewed publications have leveraged Saudi genomic data to inform rare disease research and advance precision diagnostics. The Kingdom's cell and gene therapy readiness now spans regulation, clinical trials, and talent development, with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority's fast-track approval of advanced therapies positioning it as one of the world's most agile regulators.
A Platform for the Future
Under the National Biotechnology Strategy, with the continued support of HRH Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Crown Prince and Prime Minister, Saudi Arabia is making biotech central to its national transformation, and the health and economic prosperity of its people.
The Kingdom concludes BIO 2025 with a clear message: Saudi Arabia is open for collaboration, primed for innovation, and committed to lasting partnerships.

LPRO DEADLINE ALERT: ROSEN, A GLOBALLY RESPECTED LAW FIRM, Encourages Open Lending Corporation Investors to Secure Counsel Before Important June 30 Deadline in Securities Class Action
NEW YORK, June 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — WHY: New York, N.Y., June 21, 2025. Rosen Law Firm, a global investor rights law firm, reminds purchasers of securities of Open Lending Corporation (NASDAQ: LPRO) between February 24, 2022 and March 31, 2025, both dates inclusive (the 'Class Period'), of the important June 30, 2025 lead plaintiff deadline. SO WHAT: If you purchased Open Lending securities during the Class Period you may be entitled to compensation without payment of any out of pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement. WHAT TO DO NEXT: To join the Open Lending class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. A class action lawsuit has already been filed. If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than June 30, 2025. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. WHY ROSEN LAW: We encourage investors to select qualified counsel with a track record of success in leadership roles. Often, firms issuing notices do not have comparable experience, resources, or any meaningful peer recognition. Many of these firms do not actually litigate securities class actions, but are merely middlemen that refer clients or partner with law firms that actually litigate the cases. Be wise in selecting counsel. The Rosen Law Firm represents investors throughout the globe, concentrating its practice in securities class actions and shareholder derivative litigation. Rosen Law Firm achieved the largest ever securities class action settlement against a Chinese Company at the time. Rosen Law Firm was Ranked No. 1 by ISS Securities Class Action Services for number of securities class action settlements in 2017. The firm has been ranked in the top 4 each year since 2013 and has recovered hundreds of millions of dollars for investors. In 2019 alone the firm secured over $438 million for investors. In 2020, founding partner Laurence Rosen was named by law360 as a Titan of Plaintiffs' Bar. Many of the firm's attorneys have been recognized by Lawdragon and Super Lawyers. DETAILS OF THE CASE: According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose materially adverse facts about Open Lending's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, defendants: (1) misrepresented the capabilities of Open Lending's risk-based pricing models; (2) issued materially misleading statements regarding Open Lending's profit share revenue; (3) failed to disclose Open Lending's 2021 and 2022 vintage loans had become worth significantly less than their corresponding outstanding loan balances; (4) misrepresented the underperformance of Open Lending's 2023 and 2024 vintage loans; and (5) as a result of the foregoing, defendants' positive statements about Open Lending's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis. When the true details entered the market, the lawsuit claims that investors suffered damages. To join the Open Lending class action, go to or call Phillip Kim, Esq. at 866-767-3653 or email [email protected] for more information. No Class Has Been Certified. Until a class is certified, you are not represented by counsel unless you retain one. You may select counsel of your choice. You may also remain an absent class member and do nothing at this point. An investor's ability to share in any potential future recovery is not dependent upon serving as lead plaintiff. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn: on Twitter: or on Facebook: Attorney Advertising. Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome. ——————————- Contact Information: Laurence Rosen, Esq. Phillip Kim, Esq.
