Achema Middle East, organised by Messe Frankfurt Saudi Arabia and powered by DECHEMA, will make its debut from October 11–13, 2027 at Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Centre, reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s emergence as a global destination for industrial innovation, advanced manufacturing and sustainable industrial development.

Supported by the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, the event aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Kingdom’s long-term industrial transformation strategy, providing a platform for business networking, technology exchange and partnership development across regional and international process industries.

Building on the globally recognised Achema brand, the exhibition is expected to attract international companies, specialised country pavilions and regional industrial buyers, strengthening its position as a leading meeting point for the process industries across Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East, Africa and Southern Asia region.

The inaugural edition will showcase the complete process industry value chain, creating opportunities for technology sourcing, procurement, investment and business development. 

It will connect international solution providers with project owners, EPC contractors, manufacturers, industrial buyers and government stakeholders, supporting market entry, strategic partnerships, supply chain collaboration and participation in major industrial and manufacturing projects across the Kingdom.

The exhibition and conference programme will focus on six core themes: Process Innovation, Pharma Innovation, Lab Innovation, Digital Innovation, Green Innovation and Energy Innovation. 

Sessions will examine key industry developments, including advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, industrial digitalisation, pharmaceutical technologies, laboratory automation, hydrogen, carbon management, circular economy initiatives and clean energy solutions.
