dmg events is partnering with Messe München to bring the globally recognized transport logistic brand to Saudi Arabia for the first time.
The inaugural transport logistic Middle East, together with air cargo Middle East and project cargo Middle East, will take place from 28 to 30 September 2026 at the Riyadh Front 2, according to a press statement.
The event, licensed by Messe München and organized by dmg events, marks the introduction of an internationally established logistics trade exhibition to one of the world’s fastest-growing trade regions, connecting international expertise with the Middle East and Saudi Arabia’s ambitious infrastructure, industrial development and expanding logistics network.
This launch provides a strategic space for decision-makers across the logistics and supply chain ecosystem to meet, collaborate and create tangible business opportunities.
Logistics hub
Saudi Arabia is rapidly positioning itself as a regional and international logistics hub, supported by large-scale infrastructure investments, e-commerce growth and industrial expansion.
Leveraging its strategic geographic position, which links Asia, Europe and Africa, offers a competitive advantage that is accelerating the sector’s growth. With policy reform, infrastructure modernization, and private sector investment all accelerating, hosting the event in the Kingdom is timely and a strategic choice.
The event will cover the full logistics spectrum, including logistics & freight forwarding, air cargo, project cargo, maritime logistics & ports, rail & multimodal transport, logistics IT & digital solutions and infrastructure & industrial projects.
Regional expertise
“We are combining international brand strength with deep regional expertise to create a high-level platform for decision-makers and sustainable business growth for both exhibitors and visitors,” stated Stefan Rummel, CEO, Messe München.
“Saudi Arabia’s logistics sector is entering a decisive growth phase, driven by infrastructure expansion, industrial development and sectoral priorities. We are creating a strong, sector-wide collaborative space that connects global suppliers with regional buyers and enables meaningful business growth for both exhibitors and visitors,” commented Matt Denton, President, dmg events.
