Artemis Business Care participated in the 1st Edition of Building the Future of Art & Opera – French Touch Meets Saudi Ambition, organized by Business France on 16 July 2025, in Riyadh.

The event aimed to deepen the collaboration between France and Saudi Arabia in the arts and opera sector, in line with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030. The conference gave way to keynote speeches by H.E. Mr. Patrick Maisonnave, Ambassador of France to Saudi Arabia, and by Mr. Ashraf AL AMERIA, CEO of El Seif Engineering Contracting, a major partner of French construction, infrastructure and engineering companies in the Kingdom.

The gathering featured discussions on the potential of Franco-Saudi partnerships in the performing arts, building upon the historic agreements between France and Saudi Arabia to establish the Kingdom’s first national orchestra and opera house. The Royal Diriyah Opera House, designed by Norwegian firm Snøhetta and scheduled to open in 2028, exemplifies this cultural transformation.
