IFAT Saudi Arabia Exhibition In Riyadh Hosts 450 Exhibitors From 35 Countries

IFAT Saudi Arabia is set to bring global environmental technology leaders together in Riyadh, highlighting waste, water, energy and air solutions that support Saudi Vision 2030 and the Kingdom’s plan to reach net-zero emissions by 2060 through a shift towards a circular economy.

The international exhibition acts as a strategic meeting point for major companies, government bodies and decision-makers. Participants will explore investment partnerships, review environmental challenges facing the region and examine new solutions in the waste and water sectors, with a strong focus on practical implementation and long-term sustainability outcomes.

Held under the patronage of Minister of Environment, Water and Agriculture Abdulrahman Alfadley, IFAT Saudi Arabia will take place from January 26 to 28 at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Center, known as Roshn Front, confirming Riyadh’s role as a regional hub for environmental dialogue.

More than 450 exhibitors from 35 countries will present over 3,500 technologies at IFAT Saudi Arabia. Solutions will cover waste management and recycling, water treatment and desalination, energy recovery, air quality improvement, digital tools and smart environmental transformation technologies, all aimed at supporting sustainable development across the Kingdom and wider region.

International presence at IFAT Saudi Arabia will include national pavilions from Austria, China, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Türkiye and the United Kingdom. These pavilions reflect growing cooperation, facilitate knowledge exchange and help transfer successful sustainability practices and environmental technologies into the Saudi and regional context.

IFAT Saudi Arabia conference programme and circular economy themes

The exhibition’s conference programme will run across two specialised platforms. The Orange Platform will focus on the waste management sector, while the Blue Platform will examine water sector issues. A high-level summit will also study links between waste, water and recycling challenges and opportunities, with contributions from leaders in public and private sectors.

Sessions at IFAT Saudi Arabia will address smart recycling technologies, strategies that reinforce the circular economy, and ways to align policies with on-the-ground implementation. Discussions will also cover impact investment, public-private partnerships, knowledge transfer mechanisms and stronger stakeholder engagement, supporting practical progress on sustainability targets in Saudi Arabia and neighbouring markets.

IFAT Saudi Arabia is described as the Kingdom’s largest specialised event for environmental technologies and forms part of the global IFAT network, which organises leading environmental exhibitions in seven countries worldwide, providing a platform that links technology providers with government entities and private sector partners to support sustainable transformation and environmental development in Saudi Arabia.
