Messe Frankfurt Saudi Arabia, together with Dechema, has announced that the inaugural edition of Achema Middle East will now take place from October 11–13, 2027 in Riyadh
This follows a strategic review of market conditions and the regional business environment, they said.
The event will be held at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center.
Reinforcing Saudi Arabia’s growing role as a global hub for industrial innovation, advanced manufacturing, and sustainable industrial development, the decision to move the show to 2027 reflects a strategic commitment to providing the strongest possible platform for business, networking, and technology exchange, as well as partnership development across regional and international process industries, a statement said.
The move also follows discussions with exhibitors and key industry partners. With the full support of the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources, Achema Middle East remains firmly aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Kingdom's long-term industrial transformation agenda, it said.
Organised by Messe Frankfurt Saudi Arabia and powered by Dechema, the event will now take place with the international scale, quality and industry support synonymous with the globally recognised Achema brand, establishing the foundation to become the leading gathering for the process industries in Saudi Arabia and the wider Middle East, Africa, and Southern Asia (MEASA) region, it added.
The inaugural edition will provide a comprehensive platform spanning the full process industry value chain, creating opportunities for technology sourcing, procurement, investment and business development. By connecting international solution providers with project owners, EPC contractors, industrial buyers, manufacturers and government stakeholders, Achema Middle East serves as a strategic gateway to Saudi Arabia's rapidly expanding industrial sector, facilitating market entry, strategic partnerships, supply chain engagement and participation in some of the region's most significant industrial and manufacturing projects.
Alesya Deyanova, Show Manager, Achema Middle East, said: “Following consultation with our exhibitors, partners, government stakeholders and industry leaders, we have made the decision to move Achema Middle East to October 2027. The revised dates will allow us to maximise industry participation and deliver the strongest possible debut edition from day one.
“Saudi Arabia is undergoing a remarkable period of industrial growth and transformation, and Achema Middle East will play an important role in connecting global expertise with the opportunities emerging across the Kingdom and the wider region. We remain fully committed to delivering a world-class event that serves the long-term interests of the process industries and supports the ambitions of Vision 2030.” – TradeArabia News Service
