Scenario, the award-winning design and fabrication firm, has announced that Scenario Asia has entered a strategic partnership agreement with Mint, enabling the firms to pursue Saudi-based megaprojects.
Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plan includes an ambition to create some of the most innovative and spectacular IP entertainment venues from around the world.
The partnership will support the growth of both businesses as they expand their global activities. Their collaborative activities will begin in Q4 of 2023 and will leverage the strengths and expertise of both organisations.
