POWPROCESS
The Middle East’s Only Dedicated Powder & Bulk Processing Summit
Powder & Bulk Solids Arabia: Processing the Kingdom’s Materials
Powder & Bulk Solids Arabia. One day, five sectors, in Riyadh, at the heart of Saudi Arabia’s processing economy.
01The Event
The Middle East’s only summit for powder& bulk solids
PowProcess is the Middle East’s only dedicated summit and exhibition for powder, particle and bulk-solids processing: the mixing, milling, drying, granulation, conveying, dosing, screening, filtration and bagging technology underpinning five of the fastest-growing manufacturing sectors in Saudi Arabia.
The Overview
PowProcess aligns with the Kingdom's industrial transformation agenda and supports the objectives of key government initiatives including Vision 2030, the National Industrial Strategy, Made in Saudi and the Future Factories programme.
As Saudi Arabia accelerates manufacturing localisation, supply chain resilience, industrial diversification and the adoption of advanced technologies, PowProcess provides a dedicated platform focused on the critical processing capabilities that enable this growth.
The event brings together manufacturers, government stakeholders, technology providers, EPC companies and investors to explore the innovations shaping the future of powder and bulk solids processing, including mixing, milling, drying, granulation, conveying, dosing, filtration, automation and process optimisation.
