PIF is the sole principal partner for all three series, which the fund says will directly facilitate and accelerate the delivery of STEM initiatives globally and community apprenticeship programmes.

The multi-year partnership with E360 is also a push for the kingdom’s Vision 2030 agenda to promote electric mobility and sustainable transport.

PIF has been heavily involved in e-mobility investments in Saudi

With the SWF launching the National Automotive and Mobility Investment Company

Or Tasaru Mobility Investments, last year, in a bid to boost electric vehicle manufacturing in the kingdom and develop local supply chain capabilities for the automotive and mobility industry.

Earlier this month, a report from industry specialist Global SWF revealed that PIF accounted for about a quarter of the $124 billion spent by sovereign wealth funds worldwide last year, accounting for $31.5 billion spent in 2023.
