  • Pure Global: Saudi MedTech's New Maze - Cracking the Code of Local Manufacturing Mandates.

    Pure Global: Saudi MedTech's New Maze - Cracking the Code of Local Manufacturing Mandates.
    2026/02/12
    This week, we dive deep into the seismic shift in Saudi Arabia's MedTech landscape. The Kingdom is moving beyond being a top importer of medical devices to becoming a hub for local manufacturing, driven by ambitious goals under Vision 2030. This episode explores the strategic and regulatory pivot by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA) and what it means for global MedTech companies. We look at a real-world scenario where a leading European diagnostics firm, traditionally dominating the market through a distributor, now faces losing major government contracts. Their challenge is to quickly establish a local production facility, a complex undertaking involving massive capital investment, technology transfer, and navigating a web of new SFDA incentives and regulations for local manufacturing. This is the new high-stakes reality of market access in the Gulf. Key Questions from this Episode: - How is Vision 2030 fundamentally changing market entry strategies in Saudi Arabia? - What are the specific SFDA incentives for local manufacturing that you might be missing? - Why is the traditional distributor model no longer sufficient for long-term success in the Kingdom? - What are the hidden supply chain and talent acquisition challenges in Riyadh's new MedTech hubs? - How can you leverage the UAE's logistics strengths for a Saudi manufacturing strategy? - Are you prepared for new reimbursement policies that favor locally produced medical devices? At Pure Global, we specialize in turning these complex regulatory challenges into market opportunities. With local expertise in over 30 markets, including Saudi Arabia and the UAE, and advanced AI tools, we streamline global market access for MedTech and IVD companies.

  • Pure Global: Saudi Arabia's AI Sandbox - Cracking the New MedTech Approval Code

    Pure Global: Saudi Arabia's AI Sandbox - Cracking the New MedTech Approval Code
    2026/02/11
    This week, we dissect the groundbreaking 'Digital Health Sandbox Framework' just launched by the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA). This new fast-track pathway for AI and machine learning medical devices is set to redefine market access in the Kingdom, but it comes with a critical new layer of local data and cybersecurity requirements. We explore what this shift means for global MedTech innovators targeting the lucrative Saudi market. This isn't just another regulatory update; it's a strategic move tied to Saudi's Vision 2030, prioritizing technologies that address pressing local health challenges like diabetes and cardiovascular disease. We uncover the specific demands of this new framework and the opportunities it presents for agile companies. **Key Questions From This Episode:** - How does the SFDA's local data requirement change your global validation strategy? - What specific cybersecurity vulnerabilities must be addressed to qualify for the new sandbox? - Are AI devices that lack local population data now effectively blocked from the Saudi market? - How can you forge the necessary local clinical partnerships to meet these new standards? - Does this new Saudi framework signal a broader regulatory trend across the GCC? - Is your current technical dossier prepared for this new level of algorithmic scrutiny? - What is the first step to adapt your market entry strategy for this new reality? At Pure Global, we specialize in turning these regulatory complexities into clear market access strategies. With our deep local expertise and advanced data tools, we help MedTech and IVD companies navigate the entire product lifecycle, from initial strategy to post-market surveillance. Let us be your local representative and guide you through the intricacies of new frameworks like the SFDA's Digital Health Sandbox.

  • Pure Global: Riyadh's AI Device Gambit - Unlocking the SFDA's New Fast-Track Code

    Pure Global: Riyadh's AI Device Gambit - Unlocking the SFDA's New Fast-Track Code
    2026/02/10
    In this episode of MENA MedTech Insights, we dissect the groundbreaking new policy from the Saudi Food and Drug Authority (SFDA). A new fast-track approval pathway for AI-enabled medical devices was launched last week, promising to slash market entry timelines from years to mere months. This move is a direct play to attract global innovation as part of the ambitious Vision 2030 plan. We explore what this regulatory shift means for international MedTech companies who previously saw the Kingdom as a complex, slow-moving market. This change signals a new era of opportunity in the region's largest healthcare economy, but it also comes with new strategic considerations that companies must understand to succeed. **Key Questions Answered:** * What specific criteria must an AI medical device meet to qualify for the new SFDA fast-track? * How does this new Saudi policy create a competitive advantage over other GCC markets like the UAE? * Are there hidden compliance risks within the new 'simplified' submission process? * Which international approvals, like a CE mark or FDA clearance, provide the most leverage? * How will this decision impact the business models of local Saudi MedTech distributors? * What new post-market surveillance obligations are tied to this accelerated pathway? * Could this be the first step towards a unified, fast-tracked regulatory framework for the entire MENA region? Navigating these rapid changes requires a partner with on-the-ground expertise and advanced regulatory intelligence. Pure Global offers end-to-end solutions for MedTech and IVD companies, leveraging AI and local experts to streamline market access in over 30 countries, including Saudi Arabia.
