Saudi Build 2024, the Middle East’s longest-running and most established international construction trade fair, is set to open its doors this month (November 4 to 7), providing a platform to access the lucrative opportunities offered by the Saudi market – which has  a construction pipeline valued at a staggering $1.7 trillion.

Being held under the patronage of the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing, the 34th edition of Riyadh’s premier international trade event for the construction industry will showcase cutting-edge technologies and industry solutions for the region. The exhibition’s long history underscores its sustained success in propelling the industry forward.

At the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre this month, the event will feature more than 600 exhibitors from 32 countries. Thousands of industry leaders and professionals are expected to attend, positioning Saudi Build as a critical forum for business opportunities and knowledge exchange.

Saudi Build aligns closely with the national goals of the kingdom’s Vision 2030, particularly in sustainability and the digital transformation of the built environment, says Riyadh Exhibitions Company (REC), the organiser of the show. These priorities – centered on smart cities, sustainable housing, and advanced construction methods – highlight Saudi Arabia’s drive to enhance its urban landscape through innovative, green solutions.

Last year’s Saudi Build exhibition attracted 22,000 visitors.

Last year’s edition attracted more than 22,000 visitors and spread over 28,000 sq m of exhibition space.

The success of last year’s edition has set the stage for even greater engagement and opportunities at this year’s show, says REC. In 2024, the event will focus on themes such as sustainability, energy efficiency, smart solutions and low-carbon construction, catering to the growing demand for cutting-edge technologies that align with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030.

With global trends leaning towards low-carbon, sustainable construction, Saudi Build 2024 will spotlight the latest advancements in the field. Cutting-edge technologies aimed at boosting efficiency and sustainability in building practices will take center stage, reinforcing the industry’s shift towards best practices.

As the longest-running construction exhibition in the Middle East, Saudi Build is a vital annual meeting point for business leaders, project managers, buyers and suppliers in the region. Located at the heart of Saudi Arabia’s booming construction market, the event draws participants from some of the world’s biggest construction conglomerates, mega-projects, and material suppliers, alongside supporting organisations of the Ministry of Municipalities and Housing.

Saudi Build 2024 will feature thousands of innovations across categories like building materials; heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems; prefabricated solutions; stone technology; aluminium and glass products; interior design; and plant, machinery and vehicles (PMV). The event’s expansive seven-hall format will showcase thousands of advanced products and services from leading manufacturers across the globe, offering attendees a unique opportunity to explore new ideas and solutions for their projects.

The Future of Building International Summit will feature a series of informative keynotes, panel discussions and workshops led by industry experts.

With the rapid growth in the number of mega projects throughout the kingdom, visitors will get to see, hear about and take-away knowledge and ideas to improve their projects. 

Attendees can expect to connect with influential figures from across the Middle East and North Africa (Mena) region’s construction industry including government and business leaders. The event provides an ideal networking platform for business leaders and professionals to share insights and explore new opportunities.
