# 30 leading corporate groups and holding companies in Riyadh

Tamtam tracks 34 corporate groups and holding companies headquartered in Riyadh. This list ranks the 30 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by alrajhi bank, Elm Company and بنك البلاد | Bank Albilad. Their median headcount is 2,300. Half of them were founded in 1985 or later.

These Riyadh-based corporate groups and holding companies are primarily large, established firms. The list includes major players in banking such as alrajhi bank, an Islamic bank with over $100 billion in assets, and Arab National Bank, a universal commercial bank. Other significant entities are Elm Company, an IT services provider, and Alfanar Projects, a global project developer in engineering and construction.

A notable pattern among these companies is their strong presence in foundational sectors. Beyond banking and IT, there is a significant cluster in construction, with companies like Alfanar Projects and Albawani, and in utility and infrastructure development, exemplified by Acwa and Algihaz Holding. Many of these firms also show a focus on supporting Saudi Arabia's national development goals.

## How this list is built

Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
