Reimagining the Silk Road for a new economic era.

Hosted in Jeddah — the historic Red Sea gateway between Asia, Africa and Europe — the forum turns a centuries-old route into a modern platform for economic diplomacy.

Silk Road ForumConnecting our world

A prestigious international platform for twenty-first-century exchange.

Designed to revive the spirit of the historic Silk Road, the forum creates a meeting point for interregional trade, entrepreneurs, tourism leaders and investors from OIC and G20 economies. Its goal is not to rebuild a physical route, but to create a modern ecosystem for enterprise, tourism and investment that drives unprecedented cooperation and shared economic growth.

Markets connected by the new Silk Road.

Jeddah serves as the gateway linking high-potential markets across Africa, Asia, Europe and North America, with Sudan at the heart of the forum’s investment focus.
