Roboze has joined SABIC’s Home of Innovation initiative to advance localized, resilient industrial production in Saudi Arabia, focusing on strategic sectors like aerospace and defense.
Roboze has become a partner in SABIC’s Home of Innovation, a collaboration aimed at fostering localized, resilient, and sovereign industrial capabilities within Saudi Arabia for mission-critical production. This partnership seeks to accelerate the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies across key sectors, including aerospace, defense, energy, and industrial infrastructure.
The initiative's goal is to enable the domestic production of high-value components within Saudi Arabia, shifting supply chains from global dependency to agile, digitally distributed manufacturing ecosystems. Roboze will contribute its integrated ecosystem of advanced production systems, intelligent software, and high-performance materials to support the Kingdom in enhancing production readiness for strategic assets, reducing reliance on foreign supply chains, and strengthening long-term industrial resilience.
As part of its commitment, Roboze is exploring the potential for local material production capabilities within Saudi Arabia. This move aims to further bolster manufacturing sovereignty and position the Kingdom as a global hub for advanced manufacturing technologies. Beyond technological deployment, Roboze is also investing in local talent development through dedicated training and knowledge-transfer programs.
Alessio Lorusso, Founder & CEO of Roboze, stated that manufacturing is evolving into a strategic national capability, with countries able to produce mission-critical technologies locally, rapidly, and autonomously poised for future success. He expressed Roboze's pride in contributing to Saudi Arabia's vision for a new era of resilient and sovereign manufacturing infrastructure.
This partnership signifies a strategic move towards distributed manufacturing and supply chain resilience, crucial for sectors like aerospace and defense. By enabling localized production of critical components using advanced materials and additive manufacturing, it reduces lead times and reliance on external suppliers. This aligns with the broader trend of nations investing in sovereign industrial capabilities, potentially paving the way for applications in demanding environments, including future space exploration and in-situ resource utilization.
