SABIC has had a longstanding commitment to being an inclusive growth partner with China and Asian countries. The region‟s growth prospects and opportunities, with China as a key driver, are central to SABIC‟s growth strategy and sustained investment in Asia.
Al-Mady put SABIC‟s Asia roadmap into perspective, saying, “Our future and Asia‟s future is interlinked just as the Middle East has for centuries had trade and cultural links with this part of the world. Asia is today our fastest growing market and it is this growth, and the potential for further growth, that has made it a strategic priority to increase our presence and collaboration in China and the wider Asian region as we pursue our vision to be the preferred world leader in chemicals.”
A Partner for Inclusive and Sustainable Growth in Asia
Operating in Asia since the 1980s, SABIC is committed to be a partner to China and the countries of Asia to support the drive to inclusive and sustainable growth. Today SABIC, a global leader in petrochemicals, contributes wherever it operates through investment, business and community partnerships and job creation. It has set up technology and innovation centres globally to bring its research closer to its markets, tapping on local talent to develop solutions tailor-made to in-country requirements.
In late 2013, SABIC opened two new innovation centres in Asia with a combined initial investment of US$200 million - one in Shanghai, China and the other Bengaluru, India - bringing the total number of research facilities it has around the world to 18, of which five are in Asia. SABIC also partners local educational institutions to bring together the best of academic thinking and industry expertise in China. It recently signed a new agreement with partner, the Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics in China. These projects are part of SABIC‟s broader strategy of developing next-generation innovative products and technologies rooted in sustainability to advance the industry, contribute to customers‟ successes and drive the future of its business.
