The event will be held at the Al-Malfaa Hall in the Mohammed bin Salman Nonprofit City from May 18 to 20, 2025.
Organized by the National Center for Non-Profit Sector Development in collaboration with Thalath International Limited, this year’s exhibition carries the theme “Effective Partnerships for Sustainable Development Goals” and aims to strengthen the role of the non-profit sector in achieving sustainable development goals at both the local and international levels.
The exhibition will serve as an international platform to support partnerships and build communication channels between non-profit organizations, government entities, and private sector companies. It will also offer opportunities for contract signing, project launches, and the establishment of long-term relationships.
In parallel with the exhibition, the “Social Investment Forum” and the “Gulf Non-Profit Sector Forum” will be organized in partnership with the General Secretariat of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the Executive Bureau of the Council of Ministers of Labour and Ministers of Social Affairs in the GCC. This collaboration is part of the implementation of the decision taken at the 10th meeting of the Committee of Ministers of Social Development in GCC countries, which called for active participation from member states in the high-level forum to exchange successful experiences in strengthening the relationship between the non-profit, governmental, and private sectors.
The forum aims to highlight the growth and efficiency of the Saudi non-profit sector on a global scale, enhance its contribution to achieving the Saudi Vision 2030 objectives and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It also seeks to foster sustainable local and international relationships, encourage active partnerships between local, international, and regional organizations, and promote their participation in events hosted in the Kingdom.
The exhibition is expected to attract more than 50 international organizations, 300 global sector leaders, 5 international ministers, and prominent local and international figures, with an anticipated attendance of over 20,000 visitors. The event will feature dedicated platforms for signing agreements, media centers, and government meetings aimed at enhancing communication, building partnerships, and launching new projects.
