The exhibition is intended to serve as a premier platform for global manufacturers, technology innovators and industry leaders to showcase advancements in industrial automation, smart manufacturing and Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies.
As the host country, Saudi Arabia aims to leverage its strategic location, skilled workforce, and government-led industrial politics to attract international manufacturers and technology providers.

By aligning with Hannover Messe, Saudi Arabia aims to strengthen its ties with leading economies and industrial pioneers. Hannover Messe, which attracts over 200,000 visitors and 7000 exhibitors annually, has been a driving force in industrial transformation since 1947.
In recent years, Saudi Arabia has made rapid progress in several sectors including manufacturing solutions, industrial automation, smart factories, and sustainable energy solutions. The country’s industrial transformation is being driven by significant advancements in these areas, supported by government incentives, the exhibition will allow local and international companies to present its latest innovations, fostering an exchange of expertise and accelerating the adoption of smart manufacturing solutions in the region.
The Saudi Arabian government aims to use this event as a springboard to strengthen international ties, drive technology transfers and encourage foreign companies to establish local manufacturing bases within Saudi Arabia through its various government support initiatives.
The exhibition will also facilitate B2B networking, highlight the country’s industrial capabilities to global audiences, provide avenues for policy discussions on the future of industrial innovation and strengthen economic ties between Saudi Arabia and global manufacturing leaders.
