IFAT Saudi Arabia Summit 2027
A strategic gathering focused on transforming waste and water for Saudi Arabia’s sustainable future — bringing together public-sector leaders, regulators, utilities, investors, technology providers and sustainability innovators.
About the summit
Transforming waste & water for Saudi Arabia’s sustainable future
The IFAT Saudi Arabia Summit is designed to accelerate innovation and collaboration across the Kingdom’s waste and water industries. It brings together leaders from public and private sectors to explore practical pathways for circular economy growth, advanced water reuse, smarter waste-management systems and investment-led infrastructure development.
The programme is built around Saudi Arabia’s sustainability priorities and connects ministries, regulatory authorities, utilities, giga-projects, environmental specialists, technology providers, investors and sustainability pioneers around actionable strategies and locally relevant solutions.
2027 programme status: The official Summit page currently showcases the 2026 speaker faculty, advisory board, sponsors and gallery as a previous-edition reference. This page therefore labels those people and organisations as 2026 participants and does not present them as confirmed for 2027.
