It draws manufacturers, contractors, project owners, traders, and key decision-makers, providing an ideal environment for launching new products, securing domestic and international contracts, and exploring opportunities for collaboration and expansion.
This year, the presence of 55 Saudi companies at the event is a testament to the Kingdom's increasing footprint in the construction sector. By showcasing Saudi innovations and capabilities, the "Made in Saudi" program supports local businesses in gaining access to new markets, promoting the Kingdom’s construction expertise, and contributing to the diversification of its economy.
Through its participation in the Big 5 Global 2024, the Saudi Export Development Authority continues to play a critical role in elevating the Kingdom's global trade standing and strengthening its position as a competitive player in the international construction and building sectors. This engagement is also a reflection of the Kingdom's broader goals of driving sustainable economic growth, increasing exports, and enhancing its international trade relations.
