Riyadh Outer Areas' New Economic Hubs
The article revolves around the expansion of the events and business sector in Riyadh and its impact on the local economy, particularly in the peripheral areas beyond Riyadh’s central frontage and Malham, the Riyadh Exhibition Center. The region has witnessed a noticeable transformation from underdeveloped areas to attractive destinations for companies and visitors from within the Kingdom and abroad. This is exemplified by hosting exhibitions such as the “Big 5 Construct Saudi” and the Saudi Wood Fair, which attracted over a thousand exhibitors from more than 50 countries. The report indicates that the events sector has grown by 44% over the past five years, now hosting approximately 17,000 events annually. It serves as an economic stimulant by boosting transportation, services, and commercial activity in neighboring areas. This was clearly evident during events like LEAP 2026, which drew over 201,000 visitors and 600 startups, thereby increasing economic activity and invigorating the region.
