Saudi Arabia is rapidly transforming its industrial landscape, with the World Advanced Manufacturing & Logistics (WAM Saudi 2026) summit serving as a pivotal platform for this evolution. Scheduled from February 15–17, 2026, at the Riyadh Front Exhibition and Conference Centre, the event is expected to bring together over 20,000 industry professionals, 8,000+ C-level executives, and 350+ exhibitors from more than 45 countries, creating a hub for global investment, innovation, and industrial collaboration.

WAM Saudi 2026 is part of Saudi Arabia's broader strategy under Vision 2030 to diversify its economy and establish the Kingdom as a global manufacturing powerhouse. The summit will feature co-located platforms including the World Advanced Logistics (WAL), World Industrial Materials (WIM), World Advanced Packaging and Printing (WAPP), and the World Digital Food Hub (WDFH), each focusing on key sectors driving industrial growth in the Kingdom.

Key sectors highlighted at WAM Saudi include automotive, construction, food & beverage, aerospace & defense, pharmaceuticals & biotech, oil & gas, mining & minerals, petrochemicals, and supply chain & logistics.
