ORGATEC WORKSPACE Saudi Arabia will make its grand debut in Riyadh in September 2025, marking a significant milestone for the modern workplace sector in the region. This event is the result of a strategic collaboration between Koelnmesse and dmg events, two industry leaders who are combining their expertise and the well-established ORGATEC and WORKSPACE brands to create a major trade fair dedicated to the evolving needs of the workplace in Saudi Arabia.
The announcement of this exciting partnership was made during the 2024 International MICE Summit in Riyadh, a key global event for the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) industry (www.internationalmicesummit.com). ORGATEC WORKSPACE Saudi Arabia will be held at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center (RFECC) from September 16 to 18, 2025, directly following INDEX Saudi Arabia. The event is part of a broader series of exhibitions, including the FSB Sports Show Riyadh and the International Hardware Fair Saudi Arabia, both set to launch in 2025 through the same partnership between Koelnmesse and dmg events.
The Saudi Arabian market is experiencing remarkable growth, fueled by substantial investments in mega-projects and infrastructure across sectors such as sports, tourism, and housing. Major initiatives like NEOM and New Murabba are significantly driving the expansion of the construction and real estate industries. In the office property sector alone, projects valued at USD 4.9 billion are currently underway, with an additional USD 4.3 billion in the planning stages. These large-scale developments reflect the ongoing stability and growth in the market for office furnishings and workplace solutions. Moreover, the country is planning commercial and residential developments worth a staggering $88 billion, along with tourism and hospitality projects valued at $55 billion.
The launch of this new trade fair in Saudi Arabia represents an important expansion of the globally recognized ORGATEC brand, which is held biennially in Cologne, Germany, and attracts top decision-makers and buyers in the office furniture industry. Additionally, the event builds on the success of the WORKSPACE platform in Dubai, which was developed by dmg events from a segment of the INDEX Design & Furniture Exhibition into a thriving standalone event.
ORGATEC WORKSPACE Saudi Arabia will serve as a standalone event focused on manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, providing them with valuable opportunities to connect and do business with a wide range of potential partners from across the region. With the Saudi Arabian market expanding rapidly, this trade fair is positioned to become a key event for professionals seeking to tap into one of the world’s most dynamic and fast-developing markets.
