The Saudi Industrial Transformation Exhibition 2025 kicks off tomorrow in Riyadh
Under the patronage of His Excellency the Minister of Industry and Mineral Resources, Mr. Bandar bin Ibrahim Al-Khorayef, the capital, Riyadh, will witness tomorrow, Monday, the launch of the first edition of the “Saudi Industrial Transformation Exhibition 2025”, which will be held at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center during the period from 1 to 3 December 2025. This event is a pivotal milestone in the journey of the industrial sector in the Kingdom, as it brings together under one roof a select group of global industrial transformation leaders, major technology companies, investors, and entrepreneurs.
A key pillar of Vision 2030 and the industrial strategy
The organization of this exhibition comes at a strategic time, coinciding with the massive economic development underway in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia as part of the objectives of Vision 2030. The event reflects the Kingdom's commitment to implementing the National Industrial Strategy, which aims to build a resilient, competitive, and sustainable industrial economy. The exhibition's role extends beyond simply being a platform for showcasing products; it serves as a bridge connecting local industrial capabilities with the latest global technologies, thus reinforcing the Kingdom's position as a global logistics and industrial hub linking three continents.
Fourth Industrial Revolution Technologies: Intelligence and Sustainability
Under the theme “Empowering the Future with Technology,” the exhibition focuses on three key pillars that form the backbone of modern industry: intelligence, sustainability, and resilience. The event aims to showcase solutions from the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0), including artificial intelligence applications, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), automation, and clean energy solutions. These pillars seek to enhance the operational efficiency of Saudi factories, reduce carbon emissions, and improve product quality to compete in global markets.
A global legacy spanning eight decades
This edition is of particular importance as it comes in strategic partnership with the global brand “Hannover Messe”, the world’s leading industrial trade fair, whose first edition was launched in Germany in 1947. Bringing this rich heritage to Riyadh confirms international confidence in the Saudi market and provides local manufacturers with a rare opportunity to learn about decades of global experience in advanced manufacturing, thus accelerating the pace of knowledge transfer and technology localization.
Strategic partnerships and promising opportunities
The exhibition's agenda includes a packed program of panel discussions and workshops featuring government officials and international experts to discuss supply chain challenges and the future of manufacturing. The exhibition will also witness the signing of a number of memoranda of understanding and agreements between government entities and private companies, aimed at enhancing local content and supporting small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in integrating into global value chains, thus opening new horizons for innovation and entrepreneurship in the industrial sector.
