Together with GESALO - the German-Saudi Arabian Liaison Office for Economic Affairs - we cordially invite you to the 6th VDMA Saudi Round Table on May 5, 2025 from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m (Saudi Arabia time).

In cooperation with GESALO we are organising this years’ meeting on kind invitation of Liebherr at Liebherr’s Dammam office. Liebherr will also share experiences with Chinese competitors – a topic regularly addressed in VDMA-Meetings abroad. We will also get an overview on developments in NEOM.

Networking and discussing current challenges and opportunities in Saudi Arabia will as always be in focus of the event.

The meeting is addressing the subsidiaries of German and other European machinery producers in Saudi Arabia. Total number of participants is limited. We might limit number of participants to one per company. After registration you will receive a confirmation of registration, but a finale confirmation for participation will be send out shortly after the registration deadline, April 25, 2025.

Please note: If you save the calendar entry from this event to your calendar, change the time zone to your own. The calendar entry automatically saves Central European Time (CET).

We look forward to meeting you in Dammam.
