The Sustainable Coastal Development Forum KSA, taking place on 27–28 October 2025 at Hilton Jeddah, will bring together senior government officials, developers, consultants, contractors, investors, and solution providers to discuss strategies and innovations shaping the Kingdom’s coastal transformation. The forum serves as a high-level platform for dialogue, knowledge exchange, and partnership development to ensure that Saudi Arabia’s coastal growth is sustainable, inclusive, and future-ready.
Over two days, the forum will feature a comprehensive agenda combining ministerial keynotes, expert presentations, panel discussions, and interactive showcases highlighting best practices in sustainable design, infrastructure resilience, environmental management, and smart coastal systems. Attendees will gain valuable insights into ongoing and upcoming coastal megaprojects, policy frameworks, and investment opportunities across Saudi Arabia and the wider GCC region.
Key themes to be addressed include coastal infrastructure planning and protection, sustainable tourism development, marine ecosystem conservation, smart port and waterfront design, and climate-resilient engineering solutions. The event will also highlight the importance of public-private partnerships (PPPs) in driving large-scale coastal initiatives, fostering collaboration between the public sector, private developers, and international technology providers.
Day One will set the stage with opening remarks from senior government representatives and a keynote session on Saudi Arabia’s national coastal development vision, followed by discussions on balancing economic growth with environmental preservation. Expert panels will explore innovative planning approaches, policy frameworks, and design solutions that enable adaptive, climate-smart coastal environments. Case studies from flagship projects such as the Red Sea, NEOM, and Jeddah Waterfront will demonstrate the Kingdom’s leadership in integrating sustainability principles across all stages of coastal development.
Day Two will focus on project delivery and investment opportunities, featuring briefings on infrastructure financing models, sustainable procurement strategies, and circular economy practices. Participants will engage in technical sessions on marine engineering, waterfront architecture, green materials, and nature-based solutions that protect coastal ecosystems while enhancing community resilience and tourism potential.
The event will also include a dedicated exhibition area, showcasing the latest technologies, engineering solutions, and products supporting coastal and marine infrastructure. This interactive space will allow attendees to explore cutting-edge innovations, meet potential partners, and exchange ideas with industry leaders from Saudi Arabia and abroad.
With its strategic focus on sustainability, innovation, and collaboration, the Sustainable Coastal Development Forum KSA is a must-attend event for professionals shaping the future of the Kingdom’s coastal landscape. It offers an unparalleled opportunity to connect with decision-makers, discover investment prospects, and contribute to building resilient, thriving, and environmentally responsible coastal communities across Saudi Arabia.
