ACHEMA 2026: Global process‑industry activity steps up
Expansion beyond Frankfurt — and the debut of ACHEMA Middle East
ACHEMA Middle East 2026 is scheduled to run 26–28 October 2026 at the Riyadh International Convention & Exhibition Center (RICEC).
This marks the first time ACHEMA — the century‑old global trade show for chemical engineering, biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and related process industries — expands into the Middle East. Organised by DECHEMA in partnership with Messe Frankfurt and backed by the Saudi Ministry of Industry & Mineral Resources, the event aims to bring worldwide suppliers, innovators and industry leaders together to support regional industrial transformation under Saudi Vision 2030.
ACHEMA Middle East 2026 will feature six innovation themes — Process Innovation, Pharma Innovation, Lab Innovation, Digital Innovation, Green Innovation, and Energy Innovation. Over 400 international exhibitors are expected. Through its trade‑show floor, congress sessions, and dedicated “Sustainable Growth & Investment Leadership” summit, it aims to accelerate collaborations, technology transfer, and sustainable industrial growth across the Middle East, Africa and South Asia.
