12th edition of Big 5 Construct Saudi to return to Riyadh in February 2024
BIG 5 CONSTRUCT Saudi will return to the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Centre from 26 29 February in 2024.
According to the show’s organiser dmg events, product sectorisation will take centre stage next year, apart from steel fabrication, concrete, urban design and landscape, and construction technology.
The event will highlight the most recent advancements, including artificial intelligence, automation, and digital construction solutions, as technology continues to advance the construction sector. With the inclusion of these industries, Big 5 Construct Saudi will provide a comprehensive exhibition experience that spans all facets of the construction industry, from design to completion.
Muhammed Kazi, vice president – construction at dmg events, said, “Big 5 Construct Saudi's focus on product sectorisation in 2024 is a timely response to the evolving needs of the Saudi construction market with a project pipeline worth US$1.6trn.”
“By bringing together industry players from specific sectors, the event offers a valuable platform for networking, knowledgesharing, and exploring new business opportunities. We believe that this targeted approach will help drive innovation and growth in the construction industry.”
The largest trade show in Saudi Arabia will also return with its series of freetoattend CPDcertified Industry Talks as well as specialised colocated events including HVAC R Expo, Stone & Surface Saudi Arabia, and FM Expo Saudi Arabia.
This year's edition concluded with more than 44,542 visitors. It featured more than 820 local and international exhibitors from 40 countries, who collectively showcased latest products, services, and technological innovation that cater to the entire construction value chain. Companies signed US$560.6mn worth of deals at the show, with US$1.12bn generated in expected sales.
“The sixth edition of the HVAC R Expo promised to be yet another key event in the Saudi construction landscape. The HVAC R expo being organised along with The Big 5 Saudi event was once again instrumental in bringing key decisionmakers and manufactures under one roof where state of the art solutions for the Saudi market were presented to key contractors, distributors, end users and various other stakeholders. Our Carrier team welcomed industry professionals and the distinguished guests at our stand,” said Amr Elmasry, general manager, Carrier Saudi Arabia.
Last year, Saudi Arabia's PIFbacked projects such as NEOM, Red Sea Global, Diriyah Company, Qiddiya, and ROSHN attended the show and engaged in various content programmes.
“As the largest construction event in the Kingdom, Big 5 Construct Saudi continues to demonstrate the industry's resilience and determination to keep driving the country's growth on the sidelines of its ambitious pipeline of new, ongoing, and planned mega and giga projects in line with the Vision 2030 objectives. We are proud to be a part of this journey towards shaping the future of the Kingdom’s construction industry,” concluded Kazi.
