The Global Health Exhibition (GHE) will return to Riyadh from October 27–30, 2025, under the patronage of Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Health and supported by Vision 2030 and the Kingdom’s Health Sector Transformation Program. Organised by Tahaluf, the event will take place at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre and is set to be the largest edition to date.
Unprecedented global interest and investment momentum
Driven by Saudi Arabia’s expanding influence in global healthcare and investor confidence in its transformation agenda, GHE 2025 will feature more than 2,000 exhibiting brands and 500 speakers. Global healthcare leaders such as Zimmer Biomed, GE HealthCare, Novo Nordisk, Paxera Health, Davita, and Samsung are confirmed to participate.
His Excellency Fahad bin Abdulrahman Aljalajel, Minister of Health of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, stated: “With one of the world’s fastest growing health markets, Saudi Arabia has emerged as the natural home for the world’s fastest growing health exhibition. Setting the global health agenda, the Global Health Exhibition is where visionary investors, pioneering startups, and technology leaders convene to reimagine the future of health and then build it.”

The event also provides a significant opportunity to showcase the latest innovations, facilitate knowledge transfer, and connect with stakeholders shaping the future of the health sector.
“This exhibition reflects the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s position as a hub for innovation and investment in the healthcare sector. It embodies the goals of Saudi Vision 2030 and supports the Kingdom’s efforts to enhance the quality of health services.”
To accommodate growing international demand, GHE 2025 has increased its floor space by 40 per cent, adding three new exhibition halls. The event will host 20 international pavilions, up from 12 in 2024, with participation confirmed from the USA, China, Germany, the UK, South Korea, and others.
