Dubai to Host 46th Edition of Big 5 Global, the MEASA Region’s Premier Construction Event
Dubai will host the 46th edition of Big 5 Global, the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia’s (MEASA) largest construction and urban development event, from November 24 to 27 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Backed by the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, Dubai Civil Defence, Dubai Municipality, and the Department of Municipalities and Transport - Abu Dhabi, the exhibition is expected to draw over 85,000 construction professionals and feature more than 2,800 exhibitors.
Big 5 Global comes at a time of unprecedented growth across the region, with the Middle East and Africa accounting for approximately $7 trillion in pre-construction projects. This surge is driven by ambitious national development agendas, including Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the UAE’s "We the UAE 2031", which prioritize large-scale infrastructure, housing, and urban transformation.
The 2025 edition will introduce nine sector-specific events addressing evolving priorities in sustainability, digital construction, and smart city development. Exhibitors from over 20 country pavilions, including Germany, Italy, China, Türkiye, Saudi Arabia, and the United Kingdom, will showcase innovations across the construction value chain.
Big 5 Global remains a key platform for accessing active projects and engaging with key decision-makers in one of the world’s fastest-growing construction markets.
