“Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure ambitions are setting new international benchmarks, with projects that not only meet domestic needs but also position the Kingdom as a hub for international trade and investment. Global Infrastructure Expo (formerly Saudi Infrastructure Expo) is a meeting point for serious buyers and brands looking to contribute to this transformation, enabling strategic partnerships to take shape and bring progressive solutions to the market,” said Muhammed Kazi, Senior Vice President, dmg events. “In alignment with Vision 2030, the event underscores our commitment to enabling the connections and insights that will enhance the Kingdom’s infrastructure future.”
As a response to the industry’s needs, driven by mega and giga projects, urbanization and the integration of advanced technologies, the exhibition brings together a mix of local and international companies across key sectors. Local companies, including Al Ayuni, a Saudi Arabian contractor driving national infrastructure; Saudi Arabian Amiantit, one of the leading companies in the manufacturing of pipes and tanks; UNIMAC, a specialist in heavy civil works; Saudi Binladin Group, one of the top construction conglomerates in the Kingdom; and SAJCO, a veteran infrastructure contractor, will showcase their contributions to national projects, supporting infrastructure targets across urban, transport and utility networks.
Highlighting the company’s role in this national drive, Eng. Youssef Abdullah Al-Mutlaq, CEO, Al-Ayuni Holding Group, said: “We believe that infrastructure is not just about projects, but an investment in people, economy, and the future we all aspire to. We confidently march towards achieving smart infrastructure that inspires and serves future generations.”

Running under the theme Scaling Ambition. Executing Vision.
