German-Saudi Arabian Liaison Office for Economic Affairs (GESALO)

The German-Saudi Arabian Liaison Office for Economic Affairs (GESALO) represents German business interests in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Yemen. Established in 1978, it operates as part of the global network of German Chambers of Commerce Abroad, with offices in Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. GESALO is funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action and is led by Dr. Dalia Samra-Rohte. GESALO serves as a key contact point for German companies, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), looking to enter or expand in these markets. It promotes bilateral economic ties and aligns its efforts with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 goals.
