CPHI Middle East returns to Riyadh from 14 to 16 December 2026, at the Riyadh Exhibition and Convention Centre in Malham, in its largest edition to date. The event is organized by Informa Markets under the Tahaluf alliance and is held under the patronage of the Saudi Ministry of Health.
The third edition is expected to host 60,000+ visitors from 110+ countries, with 1,000+ exhibiting brands across the full pharmaceutical supply chain — APIs, finished dosage forms, packaging and drug delivery, machinery and equipment, biotech, contract services, and integrated pharma. Over 310 expert speakers will deliver insights across two conference theatres.
The 2026 edition introduces dedicated activation zones including the Biotech Zone, Pharma Innovation Zone, Academy, Women in Pharma, Start-up Market, and the Deals Hub. IQVIA serves as the official Knowledge Partner, with the Saudi Pharmaceutical Society as the Supporting Association.
This positions CPHI Middle East alongside Tahaluf's flagship events including LEAP and Global Health Saudi as the Kingdom continues to attract major industry conferences in line with Saudi Vision 2030 objectives for healthcare localization and life sciences.
