Orgatec and Workspace migrate to Saudi Arabia

Riyadh, a rapidly expanding economic hub, is preparing to host a prominent event dedicated to the world of the workplace. Koelnmesse and dmg events are collaborating to bring their leading brands, ORGATEC and WORKSPACE, to a joint platform. From September 16 to 18

ORGATEC WORKSPACE Saudi Arabia is set to debut in Riyadh next September. This is the result of a strategic partnership between Koelnmesse and dmg events, combining their expertise and the ORGATEC and WORKSPACE brands to create a key trade fair for the office sector in Saudi Arabia.

The announcement of this collaboration was made at the International MICE Summit 2024 in Riyadh – a global leadership event for the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) industry. ORGATEC WORKSPACE Saudi Arabia will take place at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center (RFECC) from September 16 to 18, 2025, immediately following INDEX Saudi Arabia. It follows the FSB Sports Show Riyadh and the International Hardware Fair Saudi Arabia, which will also be launched by Koelnmesse and dmg events in 2025.

The Saudi market, driven by the rapid development of mega-projects and infrastructure investments in areas such as sports, tourism, and housing, offers significant opportunities for the office furniture and workplace design industry. Major projects like NEOM and New Murabba have significantly driven growth in the construction and real estate markets. In the Saudi Arabian office real estate sector, projects with a total value of $4.9 billion are currently under construction, with an additional $4.3 billion in the pipeline. These ambitious projects indicate steady growth in the office furniture and equipment market. Furthermore, commercial and residential projects worth $88 billion and tourism and hospitality projects worth $55 billion are planned.

The new trade fair in Saudi Arabia marks a significant expansion of the renowned ORGATEC trade fair, a globally recognized Koelnmesse event held every two years in Cologne, Germany, attracting key decision-makers and buyers from the office furniture sector. It also leverages the proven success of the WORKSPACE event in Dubai, developed by dmg events from a segment of the INDEX Design & Furniture Exhibition into a thriving independent platform.

Targeting manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, ORGATEC WORKSPACE Saudi Arabia offers them the opportunity to meet and do business with numerous potential business contacts from across the region in a dynamic and rapidly growing market.
