Abstract : It is widely accepted that the incentives provided for industries succeeded overwhelmingly in attracting foreign capital to participate on a sole or on a joint venture basis in the Saudi industrial development. This is in line with the Saudi long-term goals of achieving self-sufficiency and economic diversification. However, if incentives ceased, a significant proportion (if not all) of the foreign capitals might cease out of the Saudi industrial economy. This stresses the need to maximize positive impacts of such foreign capitals on national industrial and spatial developments. Regarding this, the explorative question is: to what extent do the foreign and joint venture industries operating in Saudi Arabia actually spread benefits within the local spatial and economic environments? With reference to the Jeddah Industrial Estate as a case study, the paper attempts to answer this question. In light of the answer, recommendations are drawn for the future of the Saudi Industrial Development Strategy, amongst which is the call for linking joint venture and foreign industries with the Saudi national factors of production whenever and wherever possible.
