What غرفة المدينة does

Madinah Chamber of Commerce (MCCI) is a statutory, private non-profit trade body operating under the Saudi Chambers of Commerce system, representing the private sector in the Al-Madinah Al-Munawwarah region of Saudi Arabia. It is currently in its 15th governance cycle under Chairman Mazen bin Ibrahim Rajab. The organization serves private sector businesses, merchants, investors, and entrepreneurs across the Madinah region and four affiliated governorates (Al-Mahd, Al-Hanakia, Khaybar, Al-Ula), with a stated mandate to advance regional economic development in alignment with Saudi Vision 2030.

The chamber operates a digital services platform anchored by an Electronic Services Portal (eservices.mcci.org.sa), supplemented by two specialized sub-platforms: the Madinah Local Content Platform (lc.mcci.org.sa), where regional establishments register and bid on local-content projects, and the Madinah Investments Platform (mi.org.sa), which matches project owners with investors across promising sectors. Adjacent services include chamber membership certificate issuance, authentication verification, an affiliate directory, a training center, sectoral committees, events management, complaints handling, and cooperative training/employment programs. The chamber also operates physical branch offices in its headquarters city and across the four governorates, plus a branch within the Ministry of Commerce.

Revenue is generated through recurring membership subscriptions and transaction fees for electronic services such as certificate issuance and authentication. Distribution is hybrid: self-serve digital portals for SMBs and individuals, and field branches serving enterprise members. The chamber holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 10002:2018, ISO 45001:2018, and ISO 14001:2015 certifications, the 2024 EFQM Excellence Award, and the 2023 Great Place to Work certification. Governance is exercised through 200 sectoral committee members holding 44 meetings per year and a strategic framework spanning 3 pillars, 13 objectives, 88 KPIs, and 2 programs.
