The International Code Council (ICC) MENA is excited to announce its debut participation in The Big 5 Saudi, taking place from February 15th to 18th, 2025 at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center. This highly anticipated event will spotlight the latest innovations in construction and building technologies, with this year’s theme, “Strong Foundations: From Design to Build.“
This marks a significant milestone for ICC MENA as it expands its footprint in the region to support the thriving construction industry. With Saudi Arabia witnessing an unprecedented construction boom driven by Vision 2030, ICC MENA’s involvement underscores its commitment to fostering safer, more sustainable, and innovative building practices across the Kingdom and the wider region.
Commenting on ICC MENA’s participation in The Big 5 Saudi, Mohamed Amer, Regional Director of Operations for ICC MENA, stated, “This marks a pivotal moment for ICC MENA as it aligns its global expertise with the Kingdom’s ambitious vision for growth and innovation.
