Riyadh welcomes Trump and other leaders... and Sbsial redefines influence.

On May 13, 2025, US President Donald Trump's plane lands in the Saudi capital, Riyadh, marking the start of a historic presidential tour spanning several days. Although the visit includes stops in other countries, the focus is on Saudi Arabia, not only because of its political importance, but also because it is witnessing an unprecedented influx of the world's top economic and technology leaders, in a scene resembling a major economic summit under a political umbrella.

Prominent participants in the Saudi-American Investment Forum Trump is accompanied by one of the most powerful and influential delegations in the history of US presidential visits, including:

Elon Musk , CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Meta. Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock. Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI. Alex Karp, CEO of Palantir. Top executives from companies such as Boeing, Citi Group, IBM, Qualcomm, Alphabet, US21 , and Franklin Templeton. David Sachs, a top White House advisor on artificial intelligence and cryptocurrencies. These figures are participating in the Saudi-US Investment Forum, held in Riyadh on the same day, making the visit a truly global economic event that transcends traditional diplomatic boundaries.

Saudi Arabia: The New Investment Capital of the World The vision is clear, and the numbers confirm it. The Kingdom has become one of the most attractive countries for global capital, and the participation of this elite group of business leaders is not symbolic; rather, it reflects genuine investment confidence supported by mega projects and a solid economic foundation:

Saudi Arabia aims to become a global investment hub, supported by mega projects under Vision 2030. The interests of these companies intersect with the vision's priorities: artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, defense, and financial services. According to Bloomberg (May 2025), companies such as BlackRock and Citi Group are confirmed to participate in the Saudi-US forum, to discuss long-term investment opportunities. Saudi Arabia invests $1 trillion in the US economy During his visit, Trump announced a massive Saudi investment plan in the United States, worth $1 trillion over four years, covering various sectors:

These investments build on previous successes, such as the 2017 deal that saw agreements worth $460 billion signed. Among these investments, a $100 billion defense deal is currently under negotiation, including advanced aviation technology, drones, and missile defense systems. Today, Saudi Arabia holds $770 billion in US assets, making it one of the largest sovereign investors in the United States and reflecting the financial interconnectedness and mutual trust between the two countries. A strategic alliance towards future issues: artificial intelligence and renewable energy The objectives of the visit are in line with the Kingdom's orientations:

Saudi Arabia has allocated $40 billion to develop artificial intelligence technologies, one of the largest government investments globally. The Kingdom is supporting Lucid Motors with the goal of producing 500,000 electric vehicles annually by 2030, with direct support from the Public Investment Fund. According to a PwC report, artificial intelligence is expected to add $135 billion to Saudi Arabia's GDP by 2030. The Kingdom is working to transform Riyadh into a global financial center, rivaling New York and London, with the support of global financial institutions such as BlackRock and Franklin Templeton. Security and political files... but with an economic vision The visit is not limited to the economic aspect, but also includes political and security aspects:

The Iranian nuclear file, Houthi threats, and Iran's growing regional role. The Palestinian issue and attempts to push for a comprehensive ceasefire agreement in Gaza, with American and Arab participation. Tensions in Ukraine, where Saudi Arabia is mediating and has previously hosted peace talks involving more than 40 countries. Turning characters into brands When we look at the list of names participating in Trump's visit, we cannot ignore the fact that each of them represents a brand in itself:

Elon Musk is not just a businessman, but a global influencer, with hundreds of millions of followers and the power to influence markets with a single tweet. Mark Zuckerberg leads one of the largest media platforms in history. Sam Altman has become the face of modern artificial intelligence, representing the future of technology. Alex Karp exemplifies the power of data to support security and economic policy. These people are not just participating in an investment forum, they also carry the power of mass influence, but what does Sbsial have to do with them?

Sbsial: Where brands meet real influencers The Sbsial platform is based on a simple yet profound idea: transforming influence into value. The platform treats influencers not as social media numbers, but as brands in their own right, much like Elon Musk or Zuckerberg. Through its tools, it connects:

Brands looking for effective audience reach. Influencers and celebrities who have the real power to change consumer behavior. In an era where public trust is tied to individuals more than institutions, Sbsial represents the gateway to maximizing the value of advertising partnerships.

Why is Sbsial a logical extension of this scene? When CEOs of major companies in Saudi Arabia meet to discuss investments worth tens of billions, another aspect of the discussion revolves around personal branding, audience engagement, and influential content. These elements are at the core of the platform's work:

Transforming a star, leader, or entrepreneur into a thoughtful media face. Celebrity marketing campaigns are designed around highly credible and influential figures. Providing content that combines the human dimension and the commercial dimension in a professional and reliable manner. The future is not only in conferences... but in platforms Trump's visit and the participation of technology and financial leaders put Saudi Arabia at the forefront of the global scene, not only as an investment destination, but also as a hub for influence.

Just as political and financial alliances are formed in boardrooms, influence alliances are formed on platforms. Here, Sbsial emerges as a platform that keeps pace with this transformation, bridging the digital and physical worlds and helping to build a bridge between brand and community, between vision and outcome, and between impact and return.
