29 May 2025

Supporting Saudi Arabia’s remarkable transformation in the infrastructure sector and its commitment to becoming a leader in the field, dmg events has strengthened its strategic partnership with the Riyadh Infrastructure Projects Center (RIPC) through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for the second year to deliver the upcoming Global Infrastructure Expo. The advancement of the infrastructure sector remains central to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, and dmg events continues to support this national agenda by working in alignment with its goals and contributing to sector-wide growth.

Now in its fourth year, Global Infrastructure Expo will be co-located with Smart Cities Saudi Expo, taking place from 15-17 September 2025 at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Centre. The events are expected to welcome over 15,000 participants and more than 300 exhibitors representing over 25 countries. Running alongside the event is the high-level Global Infrastructure Forum which will host ministries, policy makers and senior leaders from both government and the private sector to engage in strategic discussions on opportunities shaping the sector’s future.

Commenting on the sidelines of the MoU signing ceremony, Fahad bin Sulaiman Al Badah, CEO of Riyadh Infrastructure Projects Center (RIPC), said: “Our continued collaboration with dmg events on Global Infrastructure Expo supports the objectives of Vision 2030 by creating opportunities to explore solutions that enhance infrastructure delivery and contribute to Riyadh’s ongoing development.”

Matt Denton, President of dmg events, said: “This is the second consecutive year of working alongside Riyadh Infrastructure Projects Center (RIPC), which highlights the strength and continuity of our collaboration. Building on last year’s successful edition, this renewed partnership reflects a shared commitment to advancing the infrastructure sector in alignment with Saudi Arabia’s national priorities under Vision 2030.”

Formed by a decree from the Kingdom’s Council of Ministers in July 2023, Riyadh Infrastructure Projects Center (RIPC) is tasked with streamlining infrastructure project execution across the Riyadh region, with a focus on efficiency, quality of life and urban planning enhancements.
