# Public sector organisations headquartered in the Middle East

Tamtam tracks 442 public sector organisations headquartered in the Middle East. This list ranks the 100 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by aramco, DP World and ADNOC Group. Their median headcount is 4,218. Half of them were founded in 1973 or later. The most common headquarters are Riyadh (14), Ankara (12) and Dubai (11).

These public sector organizations in the Middle East include national energy companies, large healthcare providers, and major financial institutions. Companies such as aramco and ADNOC Group are key players in oil and gas, while DP World manages global logistics and port operations. SABIC is a global chemical manufacturer, and SAUDI AIRLINES operates extensive flight networks.

A notable pattern among these organizations is the strong presence of state-owned enterprises in critical infrastructure and strategic sectors. Many of these entities, like King AbdulAziz University and King Saud University, are also significant educational institutions, reflecting a focus on national development and human capital.

## 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 13, 2026.
