DECHEMA, organizer of ACHEMA, is hosting ACHEMA Middle East in Saudi Arabia together with Messe Frankfurt. The event will be held in Riyadh for the first time in 2026 and every three years thereafter. ACHEMA Middle East is supported by the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The trade fair is part of the government's Saudi Vision 2030 program, which serves the economic and social development of the country.
Target: 400 international exhibitors
ACHEMA Middle East will create a new meeting place for the process industry in the Middle East. Companies, political decision-makers and experts will be able to present and discuss the latest developments, technologies and innovations. The organizers are aiming for around 400 international exhibitors. The trade fair will be complemented by a congress program.
Expertise in the international exhibition business
While DECHEMA contributes industry knowledge and technical expertise from the chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries as well as experience from over a hundred years of ACHEMA to the cooperation, Messe Frankfurt contributes its expertise in the international exhibition business. "This opens up excellent opportunities for us to successfully establish ACHEMA Middle East and reach a global audience", says Dr. Björn Mathes, Managing Director of DECHEMA Ausstellungs-GmbH.
