Global Water Expo scales up to meet surging regional demand

THE Global Water Expo is set to make a significant splash this year, having doubled in size compared to its last event. This dramatic expansion is a direct reflection of Saudi Arabia's booming water sector, which is driven by massive infrastructure investments and a growing need for sustainable solutions.

With over $533 million in water projects currently in the pipeline, the kingdom is aggressively pursuing its water security goals as outlined in Vision 2030. The Global Water Expo, organised by dmg events, has become a pivotal platform for this effort. Being held at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre (RICEC) this month (September 2 to 4), the expo unites key stakeholders to explore cutting-edge technologies and form partnerships that support the nation's long-term sustainability.

The expo showcases opportunities across all facets of the water industry, from municipal supply and industrial use to desalination and wastewater management. Its doubled size highlights the increasing demand for innovative solutions and the kingdom's role as a major hub for international collaboration in the water sector. The event is a crucial space for companies to engage with the Saudi market and contribute to its ambitious water-related objectives.

“Global Water Expo represents a strategic meeting point for the kingdom's water sector, connecting international solution providers with the local market,” said Muhammed Kazi, Senior Vice President – Construction, dmg events. “The exhibition this year is twice the size as compared to last year, as a response to the growing market needs, offering opportunities to explore solutions, adopt technologies and form partnerships that align with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 water priorities. Our 2025 edition provides a dedicated environment for decision-makers and solution providers to meet, discuss challenges and explore solutions that will shape the country's water infrastructure for years to come."
