THE Saudi Build expo to be staged early this month has generated much interest among industrialists and retailers in the Gulf region with the recent Saudi Government announcement that it will allocate a social benefit package of $130 billion for the development of housing, infrastructure and transportation in  the kingdom.

“Celebrating its silver jubilee as the region’s premier construction show, Saudi Build 2013, the 25th international construction technology and building materials trade exhibition, will be a perfect gateway to explore the lucrative Saudi construction sector as the exhibitors display latest technologies, machineries and equipment as well as offer complete business solutions to real estate agents, contractors and developers. The 25th edition of Saudi Arabia’s largest business-to-business construction fair will run from November 4 to 7 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Centre.

Zeyad Al Rukban, deputy general manager, Riyadh Exhibitions Company, organisers of Saudi Build, said, “Since its inception a quarter of a century ago, Saudi Build has been the foremost construction show in the region offering a platform to both exhibitors and visitors to leverage business opportunities. The 2013 edition will proudly mark 25 years of continuous success of the show along with the record growth achieved during recent years. This year’s event promises to be a special celebration as Saudi Build continues to enjoy a strong local, regional and global following, attracting high-profile personalities, decision makers, trade missions and key government officials from all over the world.”
