U.S.-Saudi Closed-Door Roundtable: Intellectual Property, Saudi Sports Law & Sports Investment

April 21, 2026

Riyadh

On April 21, 2026, as part of the second day of the Sport Investment Forum (SIF), the American Chamber of Commerce Saudi Arabia (AmCham Saudi Arabia) hosted a select group of leaders and decision-makers for a high-level, closed-door #roundtable titled “U.S.-Saudi Closed-Door Roundtable: Intellectual Property, Saudi Sports Law & Sports Investment.”

Pioneered by the Sports, Tourism, Entertainment & Culture (STEC) Committee and Chaired by Maxwell Andrews, the discussion brought together an exceptional cross-section of stakeholders from across the Kingdom, including representatives from the Ministry of Investment in Saudi Arabia, the Saudi Rowing Federation, Jameel Motorsport, and a range of prominent investors and industry leaders. This curated gathering created a unique environment for candid #dialogue and strategic exchange.

Participants explored key themes shaping the future of #sportsinvestment in Saudi Arabia, including intellectual property, sports law, and the growing role of sport in economic development.

We are proud to provide a platform that facilitates these important conversations and supports the Kingdom’s evolving investment landscape. A white paper and detailed recap are currently in development, to be published soon, led by Maxwell Andrews, Rakan Alyusuf, and Jonathan Burns.
