Achema Middle East, a new trade fair for the process industry, is set to take place for the first time in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, in 2026. Supported by the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the event is in line with the Saudi Vision 2030 program for economic and social development. The trade fair is expected to attract around 400 international exhibitors and offer a comprehensive conference program.

Dr. Björn Mathes from Dechema emphasizes the partnership with Messe Frankfurt, which is strengthened by the latter's expertise in the international trade fair business and Dechema's industry knowledge and experience. Wolfgang Marzin from Messe Frankfurt is delighted about the expansion of the Achema brand into a new region. The aim is to create a global meeting place for companies, political decision-makers, and experts to present and discuss innovations and technologies.
