Eligible businesses can apply for free export support. Applications open on Monday 28th October and close on Monday 9th December 2024.
About the Event
The Big 5 Construct Saudi is one of the region’s premier infrastructure events. Now in its 15th year, it is designed to connect global industry with the substantial, lucrative infrastructure opportunities in the Kingdom. The event is a key platform for engagement and achieving commercial success in the region.
The event runs over two weeks from 15-27 February 2025. Investment NSW will participate in the second week from 24-27 February.
Program dates
November 2024 to March 2025.
In-person attendance by at least one company representative, with knowledge of the business's product or service, is required to attend the trade exhibition in Riyadh in February.
Who should Participate
- Innovators or service providers in the infrastructure industry.
- Companies operating in the non-residential building space.
- Established exporters with experience doing business in the Middle East.
Why you should Participate
The Big 5 Construct Saudi brings together the holistic infrastructure ecosystem from the world’s east and west to drive trade and collaboration, educate on Saudi Arabia’s expansive opportunities, facilitate meaningful connections and showcase cutting-edge innovation. It provides the optimal platform for NSW exporters to promote their innovative products and services to businesses, governments and influential decision makers in Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning infrastructure market.
The opportunities for NSW companies in Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure industries have never been greater. As part of its Vision 2030 strategy, Saudi’s economy continues to liberalise and seeks quality and reliable international expertise to deliver a pipeline of projects valued at over AUD 1.4 trillion. Neom, the ultra-modern, sustainable and innovative urban area being constructed in the Kingdom’s north-west (which many Australians are already contributing to) is just one example of the country’s potential.
Place your products directly in the hands of buyers or showcase your services to potential customers and provide a powerful sales message to your potential clients.
