Tahaluf Powering The Kingdom's Global Stage Follow us Follow on Google News Follow on Facebook Follow on Instagram Follow on X Follow on LinkedIn Sector: Events Country: Saudi Arabia Headquartered in Riyadh, Tahaluf has rapidly emerged as a force redefining Saudi Arabia’s global event footprint. Tahaluf is a strategic joint venture between Informa, the Saudi Federation for Cybersecurity, Programming and Drones (SAFCSP), and the Events Investment Fund (EIF), thereby bringing together a number of key stakeholders. From tech to tourism, healthcare to real estate, Tahaluf’s portfolio bridges the Kingdom with the world. Its line-up includes the globally acclaimed LEAP— now the most attended tech event on the planet — as well as DeepFest, Global Health Exhibition, Black Hat Middle East & Africa, Cityscape Global, and CPHI Middle East. More recently, Tahaluf expanded its reach with the announcement of Money20/20 Middle East, launching in Riyadh, and LEAP East, which will debut in Hong Kong in 2026. Each Tahaluf event serves a strategic purpose. LEAP, for example, attracts over 215,000 attendees annually and is a powerful showcase of the Kingdom’s tech ambitions, featuring thought leaders from TikTok, Sequoia, Formula E, and more. Events such as Money20/20 further underline Saudi Arabia’s rising profile as a global fintech powerhouse under Vision 2030. Tahaluf is equally committed to developing local talent. Its Graduate Development Programme provides structured training and real-world exposure across its flagship events and corporate functions — nurturing the future leaders of Saudi Arabia’s event economy. With additional events such as Najah Jeddah, EDGEX, Saudi Event Show, HRSE KSA, Umrah & Ziyarah Forum, Talent World, and the Saudi Intermobility Expo, Tahaluf is more than an organiser: it’s increasingly a builder of ecosystems. As Saudi Arabia accelerates towards a diversified, innovation-driven economy, Tahaluf stands at the centre: enabling global connections, catalysing knowledge exchange, and delivering world-class impact. Its ability to convene industries, policy- makers, investors, and innovators under one roof has made it a vital player in the kingdom’s transformation into a global platform for knowledge, business and innovation.
