New three-day event positions Saudi Arabia as regional hub for heavy machinery innovation
MYCRANE, the first global platform for crane rental and purchase, has been appointed Digital Innovation Partner for Heavy Equipment Connect Forum & Expo 2026 (HEC), a new government-backed event designed to reflect Saudi Arabia’s US$ 1tn industrial transformation.
The inaugural three-day conference and exhibition, taking place February 2–4, 2026 at Dhahran Expo in Dammam, represents the Kingdom’s largest exhibition dedicated to heavy machinery and construction equipment.
Under the patronage of Saudi Arabia’s National Industrial Development Center (NIDC), the driving force behind Saudi Arabia’s industrial advancement under Vision 2030, the event brings together global manufacturers, investors and policymakers.
The partnership will see MYCRANE provide support for event innovation, digital engagement strategy and attendee experience, and reflects a shared commitment to position Saudi Arabia as the regional hub for heavy equipment innovation and smart industrial solutions.
Advancing Saudi Vision 2030
“We are honoured to be working side-by-side with Heavy Equipment Connect, a government-backed platform advancing Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions,” stated Andrei Geikalo, MYCRANE founder and CEO.
“Our appointment as Digital Innovation Partner demonstrates how technology is no longer optional — it’s the foundation for the future of the heavy equipment industry. Together, we’ll deliver an experience that merges innovation, connectivity and opportunity,” he added.
As Digital Innovation Partner, Dubai-headquartered MYCRANE is designing smart registration and matchmaking systems that will help OEMs, contractors and suppliers connect more effectively, further advancing the Kingdom’s goal of building a globally competitive industrial base.
