Jeddah Mayor Hani Abu Ras will officially inaugurate the event. The show hosts more than 500 companies from 36 countries, according to organizers.
In addition to the exhibition, which has doubled in size this year to accommodate demand, there will also be two workshops taking place alongside.
“The response we have received to this year’s event has been exceptional,” Andy White, event director for The Big 5 Saudi, said.
“Our knowledge partner, Ventures Middle East, has estimated there are $163.5 billion worth of projects currently in the concept stage in Saudi, meaning there is phenomenal opportunity for exhibitors to do real business during the event and for buyers to source thousands of new and innovative products.”
