Riyadh, October 4, 2024—The 7th Global Health Exhibition is set to take place from October 21 to 23 at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Center in Malham, north of Riyadh. Organized under the patronage of the Ministry of Health, the event is supported by the Health Sector Transformation Program and is managed through a joint venture involving the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones, Informa, and the Events Investment Fund. This year's exhibition promises to be one of the largest and most influential healthcare events in the region, showcasing cutting-edge advancements and offering a wide array of investment opportunities.
With more than 1,000 investors and 60 startups participating, the exhibition serves as a prime platform for fostering collaboration and exploring investment prospects in the healthcare sector.

Sponsored by Startups Magazine, the competition is open to startups that are less than five years old and employ fewer than 25 people. The semi-final rounds will take place over the first two days of the exhibition, culminating in the final on the last day.
