More than 50 years in Saudi Arabia. And we're building what comes next.
For more than five decades, Sanofi has been part of Saudi Arabia’s healthcare journey, bringing the benefits of science to patients and communities across the Kingdom.
Today, our commitment goes much further.
As Saudi Arabia builds a growing life sciences ecosystem, our presence has evolved from providing medicines and vaccines to manufacturing locally, transferring knowledge and technology, developing Saudi capabilities, advancing research and strengthening partnerships across the healthcare ecosystem.

From presence to partnership
Our journey in Saudi Arabia reflects the transformation of healthcare in the Kingdom itself.
We continue to deepen our local footprint through manufacturing and localization, including our work to localize insulin production, while investing in scientific collaboration, public health, research and the capabilities of Saudi talent.
In 2023, Sanofi became the first global biopharmaceutical company to establish its Regional Headquarters in Riyadh (for the GCC region), marking another milestone in our long-term commitment to the Kingdom.
Building the next chapter together
In 2026, we mark this milestone with the official Grand Opening of the new regional headquarters office to host our regional leadership team, a moment that reflects the depth of our long-term commitment to the Kingdom. Our ambition is not simply to bring Sanofi’s global science to Saudi Arabia. It is to combine that science with local capabilities, local partnerships and local ambition to create lasting impact.
As the Kingdom advances its Vision 2030 healthcare transformation, we will continue working alongside our partners to strengthen local capabilities, accelerate access to innovation and contribute to a more resilient and sustainable healthcare ecosystem.
