ACHEMA Middle East
Accelerating Process Innovation
ACHEMA Middle East is the region’s most ambitious platform for industrial transformation – where innovation meets execution and the global process industries connect with Vision 2030 opportunities.
Proudly under the official patronage of the Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources (MIM) and with the valued support of ASAS, a government-owned company advancing industrial excellence across Saudi Arabia, this milestone marks a powerful endorsement of ACHEMA’s role in supporting Vision 2030 – by accelerating industrial transformation, localising manufacturing capabilities, attracting foreign direct investments, and advancing innovation across the process industries.
Launching at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center (RICEC) on 26 – 28 October 2026, ACHEMA Middle East is a full-scale exhibition and summit that brings together world-leading solution providers with the fastest-growing markets across the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia (MEASA).
As one of three flagship editions in the global ACHEMA triennial series, the event is powered by the legacy of DECHEMA, organized by Messe Frankfurt, and strategically aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. Together, they are creating a launchpad for the chemical, pharmaceutical, biotech, food, energy, water, and manufacturing sectors to access next-generation technologies, industry networks, and investment opportunities.
With six dedicated product groups, six innovation themes, and an industry summit featuring tailored matchmaking, ACHEMA Middle East unites the entire process industry value chain – from R&D labs and production plants to digital platforms and hydrogen ecosystems.
This is where industrial futures take shape, partnerships are forged, and real momentum begins.
