The forum is one of the most prominent platforms that bring together contractors and those interested in the construction sector with project owners from the governmental and private sectors, as it provides a unique opportunity to see the details of future projects in the Kingdom, of all sizes and specialties, in addition to identifying the requirements of the royal authorities and mechanisms for applying for these projects.

Promote partnerships

The forum also represents a qualitative opportunity to communicate directly with decision -makers and sector leaders, and to enhance local and international partnerships in a way that contributes to the growth and sustainability of the contracting industry.
This year’s version is characterized by the launch of a number of specialized events that aim to support the sector and enable its workers, the most prominent of which is the Contractor Financing Solutions Conference, which discusses the most prominent financing challenges facing contractors, and presents a set of effective solutions and practices through workshops and presentations, with the participation of government agencies, financial institutions and local and international banks.

The forum is also witnessing the launch of the “Contractor Contractor” initiative, which seeks to enhance cooperation between contractors from different groups, by enabling adult contractors to display their projects and technical requirements, and provide an opportunity for medium and young contractors to reach these projects and expand their partnerships, which reflects positively on the sector’s growth.
The Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Saudi Contractors Authority said a. Muhammad bin Abdulaziz Al -Ajlan “Since its first launch, the Future Projects Forum has witnessed a remarkable development in the size of participation and the quality of the projects presented, so that today its largest edition is a leading platform that combines ambition and vision.
