Made in Saudi Arabia Exhibition 2025: Dates, Events, and Key Opportunities
The local and regional business and industry community is turning its attention to Riyadh, the capital city, as it prepares to host an exceptional economic event: the launch of the third edition of the "Made in Saudi Arabia" exhibition . This major industrial event is scheduled to take place from December 15th to 17th, 2025, at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center in Malham, under the patronage of His Excellency the Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, Mr. Bandar bin Ibrahim Al-Khorayef.
Strategic context: Vision 2030 and the Industrial Development Program
This event cannot be viewed in isolation from the broader economic context of Saudi Arabia. The exhibition is a direct outcome of Vision 2030 , specifically within the objectives of the National Industrial Development and Logistics Program (NIDLP), which aims to transform the Kingdom into a leading industrial power and a global logistics hub. Since the launch of the "Made in Saudi Arabia" program in March 2021, under the patronage of His Royal Highness Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the industrial sector has worked to create a unified identity for national products to enhance their competitiveness both domestically and internationally.
"We Create Empowerment" slogan: Numbers and aspirations for the third edition
Under the slogan "Building Empowerment," the Saudi Export Development Authority aims to break previous records in this edition. Official projections indicate broad participation exceeding 500 leading national companies, showcasing their latest innovations and industrial solutions. To bolster the commercial aspect, the exhibition aims to attract more than 250 international buyers, creating real opportunities to connect Saudi exporters with global markets. The event's schedule also includes a wealth of knowledge through 25 specialized workshops and 10 panel discussions addressing the challenges and future of the sector, featuring a select group of experts and decision-makers.
Building on a legacy of success and developing non-oil exports
The upcoming edition builds on the solid foundation of success achieved by previous editions. The last edition saw a remarkable turnout of over 72,000 visitors and witnessed the signing of more than 60 strategic agreements. These figures reflect the growing confidence in Saudi products. The exhibition primarily aims to contribute to increasing the share of non-oil exports in non-oil GDP to 50% by 2030, a strategic objective pursued by all sectors of the Kingdom to reduce reliance on oil as the primary source of income.
Promising opportunities for entrepreneurs and investors
The "Made in Saudi Arabia" exhibition transcends being merely an exhibition space, becoming a comprehensive interactive platform. With the participation of 10 export houses, the event will provide technical and logistical consultations for manufacturers seeking to enter international markets. It also presents a golden opportunity for startups and entrepreneurs to forge strategic partnerships and learn about the latest industrial technologies, thereby strengthening the national economy and creating new job opportunities for young Saudi talent.
