IFAT Saudi Arabia Riyadh

IFAT Saudi Arabia is the leading trade fair for environmental technologies in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and forms part of the internationally renowned IFAT exhibition family, recognized worldwide for its expertise in environmental technology. While originally known as the "International Trade Fair for Wastewater Technology," the event in Saudi Arabia has evolved into a key platform for solutions in water, wastewater, waste, and recycling across the entire MENA region.

The trade fair is held annually at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center – a modern, strategically located venue in Riyadh, offering excellent accessibility for both national and international participants. The event is organized by dmg events, a global exhibition and media company with offices in over 13 countries, and is held under license from Messe München, the original organizer of the global IFAT series.

IFAT Saudi Arabia brings together professionals from sectors such as water management, waste management, recycling, energy efficiency, and environmental technology. Key topics include water and wastewater treatment, well and water construction, sewer infrastructure, air and soil purification, and energy recovery from residual materials. Digital solutions for water management, environmental monitoring and control systems, as well as research and technology transfer, are also core elements of the event.

Beyond showcasing the latest technologies and products, the trade fair serves as a hub for dialogue between companies, government agencies, and project stakeholders. It is specifically tailored to the needs of the Saudi and wider regional market—one that, in light of Vision 2030, sets particularly high standards for sustainability and resource efficiency.

Exhibitors primarily come from the environmental technology, water, energy, and waste sectors. On the visitor side, the audience is composed mainly of decision-makers from municipalities, industry, infrastructure, construction, utilities, and environmental authorities. The exhibition program is further enriched by expert conferences, innovation showcases, and networking events.

As part of the global IFAT network, IFAT Saudi Arabia is closely connected to other international events, providing participants with access to a worldwide innovation and industry network.

The Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center is considered one of the most advanced trade fair venues in the Middle East. With direct links to King Khalid International Airport and convenient access via major transportation routes, it is easily reachable for all attendees. For anyone looking to shape the future of environmental technologies in the region, IFAT Saudi Arabia is a must-attend event.

The IFAT Saudi Arabia will take place on 3 days from Monday, 26. January to Wednesday, 28. January 2026 in Riyadh.
