Saudi Media Forum 2026 Launches Media Economy Platform At FOMEX

The Saudi Media Forum 2026 has launched a specialised platform for agreements and memoranda of understanding within the Future of Media Exhibition (FOMEX), creating a formal space where media organisations, government bodies, and technology companies can sign partnerships that connect new global media technologies with concrete projects and investments in Saudi Arabia.

Organisers expect the agreements concluded through this platform to support Saudi Vision 2030 by increasing the media sector’s share of national GDP, while also positioning the Saudi Media Forum 2026 as an active driver of the media economy rather than just a discussion event.

Throughout the Future of Media Exhibition (FOMEX), the Saudi Media Forum 2026 agreements platform is expected to host announcements of partnerships that link Saudi and international companies, using new technology launches as a basis for cooperation and reinforcing the Kingdom’s status as a regional and global centre for media and related technologies.

The Saudi Media Forum 2026 agreements platform aims to help government entities, media outlets, and technology suppliers convert showcased innovations into structured agreements centred on knowledge transfer, localisation of media technologies, skill-building for local talent, and sustained backing for high-quality media content and creative innovation within the media sector.

FOMEX, held alongside the Saudi Media Forum 2026, extends over more than 12,000 square metres and attracts an international share exceeding 75% of all exhibitors, with leading global firms presenting systems for digital broadcasting, advanced production workflows, professional audio solutions, and high-performance camera technologies used across the media sector.

Several international partners have taken the opportunity at the Future of Media Exhibition (FOMEX) and the Saudi Media Forum 2026 to reveal new media, broadcasting, and production technology products, signalling rising trust in the forum as a global meeting point for launching media sector innovations.

The Future of Media Exhibition (FOMEX) linked to the Saudi Media Forum 2026 is designed as an integrated environment where technology launches, signing ceremonies on the agreements platform, and later implementation steps occur in one place, helping participants move efficiently from product demonstrations to negotiated contracts within the broader media sector.

By combining a high level of international participation at FOMEX with the structured agreements platform of the Saudi Media Forum 2026, organisers expect the event to strengthen Saudi Arabia’s role in shaping future media technologies, while generating new partnerships that support economic goals and long-term development of the media sector.
