ORGATEC WORKSPACE Saudi Arabia Launches in Riyadh 2025

The inaugural ORGATEC WORKSPACE Saudi Arabia is set to debut in Riyadh from 16 to 18 September 2025. This milestone event is the result of a strategic collaboration between Koelnmesse and dmg events, two industry leaders combining their expertise to establish a premier trade fair dedicated to the modern workplace in Saudi Arabia.

Announcement at the International MICE Summit

This groundbreaking partnership was unveiled at the 2024 International MICE Summit in Riyadh, a prominent global event for the Meetings, Incentives, Conferences, and Exhibitions (MICE) industry. The event will be hosted at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Centre (RFECC), following major exhibitions such as the FSB Sports Show Riyadh and the International Hardware Fair Saudi Arabia, also launched by Koelnmesse and dmg events.

A Booming Market for Office Design

Saudi Arabia’s rapid urban and economic development has created fertile ground for the office furniture and workplace design industry. Mega-projects like NEOM and New Murabba have spurred significant growth in the construction and real estate sectors. With office property projects valued at USD 4.9 billion under construction and another USD 4.3 billion in the pipeline, the demand for modern office furnishings and equipment is on the rise. Additionally, planned investments of $88 billion in commercial and residential projects and $55 billion in tourism and hospitality underscore the region’s vast potential.

Expanding the Legacy of ORGATEC

The Riyadh event represents a strategic expansion of the globally renowned ORGATEC trade fair, a biennial event in Cologne, Germany, that attracts decision-makers and buyers from the office furniture sector. It also builds on the success of the WORKSPACE event in Dubai, which dmg events evolved into a thriving independent platform from its roots as part of the INDEX Design & Furniture Exhibition.

“The debut of ORGATEC WORKSPACE Saudi Arabia sends a strong signal of our ambitions for global growth. We are leveraging our extensive expertise and the proven success of ORGATEC in Cologne to establish a new platform in the fast-growing Saudi Arabian market,” explains Gerald Böse, CEO of Koelnmesse. “Together with our partner dmg events, we will provide our customers access to a very promising market. The timing could not be better: We are currently experiencing a phase in which the office infrastructure in this country is undergoing dynamic change."

“The launch of ORGATEC WORKSPACE in Saudi Arabia highlights the strength of our partnership with Koelnmesse, following the recent announcements of the International Hardware Fair Saudi Arabia and FSB Sports Show Riyadh. By uniting Koelnmesse’s renowned ORGATEC and dmg events’ leading commercial interiors event, WORKSPACE, we combine global brands with deep local knowledge to deliver exceptional value for our customers. Together, we aim to meet the enormous demand in Saudi Arabia by creating opportunities that connect international interest with local needs,” said Matt Denton, President, dmg events.

Opportunities for Global and Regional Players

ORGATEC WORKSPACE Saudi Arabia will serve as a stand-alone event catering to manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors. It offers a unique platform for businesses to connect with regional stakeholders and tap into the dynamic, fast-growing Saudi market. With its focus on innovation and collaboration, this event is poised to become a cornerstone for the future of workplace design in the region.
