Riyadh — Mubasher: MEED, the region’s leading business intelligence platform, is set to host the fourth edition of its flagship Saudi Mega Projects summit from 28-30 September 2026 at the Venue in ROSHN Group’s SEDRA community in Riyadh.
The three-day summit will bring together project leaders, government stakeholders, developers, contractors, consultants, and solution providers involved in delivering Saudi Arabia’s built environment and mega-project agenda.
Held under the theme “Turning Vision into Value: Meet the Ambitious Changemakers Delivering Vision 2030,” this edition comes as the Kingdom’s construction and development sectors move from planning and design toward large-scale procurement, contractor mobilization, and project execution, with less than four years remaining to deliver key Vision 2030 milestones.
Ed James, Head of Content & Research at MEED, commented: “Saudi Arabia is entering a defining moment where vision has to translate into measurable value, and that transition is reshaping its entire construction and development ecosystem”
"With $130 billion worth of giga projects already awarded and close to $200 billion of contracts now moving through the market, the questions asked by the industry are sharper and more commercial, ranging from delivery models, procurement discipline, and industrial capacity to the accelerating role of the private sector alongside the mega project entities,” James added.
He mentioned: “Saudi Mega Projects 2026 is where those conversations happen with the people accountable for the answers. The scale of engagement this year, from ROSHN Group’s renewed partnership through to an expanded Partner roster, reflects how central this conversation has become to the sector."
ROSHN Group, the Kingdom’s leading master developer, will return as Host Partner for the second consecutive year, with The Venue by ROSHN Group hosting the full three-day programme.
The summit’s 2026 edition will also feature an expanded partner network, reflecting the growing involvement of international consulting, contracting, technology, and design firms in Saudi Arabia’s built-environment strategy.
Alongside ROSHN Group as Host Partner and Red Sea Global as Regenerative Tourism Partner, Qatar Exports Company will participate as a Platinum Partner, while Autodesk will serve as a Gold Partner.
Freyssinet, Orascom Construction, and Shapoorji Pallonji Mideast LLC will participate as Contracting Partners; Parsons as Innovation Partner; Bechtel, Evalueserve, HKA, Jacobs, Mace Consult, and Mott MacDonald as Consulting Partners; Aedas and DLR Group as Design Partners; and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) as Industry Partner.
