Jeddah to host multi-sectoral trade expo

The event will be held at the Jeddah Center for Forums and Events from Nov. 20-23.

Over 200 local and international companies will participate in the 29th Jeddah International Trade Fair (JITF), which will be held at the Jeddah Center for Forums and Events from Nov. 20-23.
The four-day annual event will bring together a wide range of multi-sector products, clothing, fashion wear, textiles, leather goods, home décor accessories, appliances and much more.
This year, the show is dominated by international participation with national pavilions from China, Morocco, Indonesia, Egypt and individual companies from India and the UAE. The event, held in a venue spanning 2,000-square-meters, provides opportunities for Saudi companies to have agencies, distributorships, dealerships and joint venture agreements with their international counterparts.
Zahoor Siddique, vice president of Al-Harithy Company for Exhibitions (ACE), organizers of the event, said the fair offers endless opportunities for both investors and exhibitors to help enhance the ever-growing Saudi franchise market.
He said: “It offers a unique exposition for manufacturers, suppliers, buyers and users of a wide range of goods and services as well as opportunities for investment and trade promotions.”
JITF 2017 is in line with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 seeking to identify all general directions, policies, goals and objectives of the Kingdom and whose aim is to grant the country a leading position in all fields. It aims to ultimately enhance the level and quality of services provided to beneficiaries to achieve a prosperous future and a sustainable development.
The fair is held concurrently with “Textiles Arabia,” the fourth textiles expo and a leading trade fair for all kinds of textiles, fabrics and materials.
JITF serves as an annual meeting point for international and regional franchisers, entrepreneurs, agents, and business owners either seeking face-to-face interaction with investors, or establishing long-term connections with potential franchisees.
The show timings are from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.
