Expo 2030 Riyadh Company

Expo 2030 Riyadh Company (شركة إكسبو 2030 الرياض) is a Saudi company wholly owned by the Public Investment Fund (PIF), established to build, operate, develop and invest in the facilities of Expo 2030 Riyadh. The PIF announced its launch on 19 June 2025, following Riyadh's successful bid to host the 38th edition of the International Expo. The company is chaired by Talal bin Hussein Al-Marri, who serves as CEO. The World Expo itself is scheduled to run from 1 October 2030 to 31 March 2031 on a 6 million square metre site in northern Riyadh, near the future King Salman International Airport. The event is themed "Foresight for Tomorrow" and is expected to welcome 197 nations and more than 42 million visitors. The company's remit covers construction and operation of the Expo site and its pavilions, as well as long-term investment and development of the facilities. After the Expo closes, the company is tasked with transforming the site into a global village — a multicultural hub for retail and restaurant activities, surrounded by a world-class residential complex designed to the highest standards, serving as a model for sustainable tourism. The company is pursuing partnerships with local and international private-sector players in construction, cultural programming and event organisation, and will draw on PIF's diverse domestic and global ecosystem. Its establishment aligns with PIF's real estate strategy, which aims to strengthen and diversify the local economy, drive urban innovation and improve quality of life in line with Saudi Vision 2030. In the run-up to the Expo, the company is responsible for preparations including inviting 195 countries to prepare their participation, organising cultural programmes and events, and holding workshops and bilateral meetings with participating nations. It organised a cultural event titled "From Osaka to Riyadh" at the Expo Arena Matsuri during Expo 2025 Osaka, attended by more than 15,000 visitors, featuring musical and cultural performances blending Saudi and Japanese cultures. It also collaborated with the Ministry of Interior, represented by the General Directorate of Passports, to launch a special stamp marking Saudi Arabia's receipt of the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE) flag during the closing ceremony of Expo 2025 in Japan on 13 October 2025; the stamp is used in the passports of travellers arriving in the Kingdom via King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, symbolising the official transfer of hosting responsibilities from Japan to Riyadh and the start of preparations for the 2030 edition.

Expo 2030 Riyadh Company was established by the Public Investment Fund (PIF) of Saudi Arabia, which announced its launch on 19 June 2025 (23 Dhu al-Hijjah 1446 AH). The creation of the company followed Riyadh's successful bid to host Expo 2030 Riyadh, the 38th edition of the International Expo. The company is wholly owned by PIF and is chaired by Talal bin Hussein Al-Marri, who also serves as CEO. The company's mandate is to build, operate, develop and invest in the Expo facilities on a long-term basis. The Expo itself is scheduled to take place from 1 October 2030 to 31 March 2031 on a 6 million square metre site in northern Riyadh, near the future King Salman International Airport. The event is themed "Foresight for Tomorrow" and is expected to attract 197 nations and more than 42 million visitors. The company is responsible for delivering the site and its pavilions within five years, and intends to form partnerships with local and international private-sector entities in construction, cultural programming and event organisation. A key part of the company's long-term vision is the transformation of the Expo site after the event into a global village — a multicultural centre for retail and restaurant activities, surrounded by a world-class residential complex built to the highest standards, serving as a model for sustainable tourism. The company's establishment aligns with PIF's real estate strategy, which aims to strengthen and diversify the local economy, drive urban innovation and improve quality of life, in pursuit of Saudi Vision 2030. In preparation for hosting, the company is responsible for inviting 195 countries to prepare their participation, organising cultural programmes and events, and conducting workshops and bilateral meetings with participating nations to discuss priorities and preparations. It organised a cultural event titled "From Osaka to Riyadh" at the Expo Arena Matsuri during Expo 2025 Osaka, attended by more than 15,000 visitors, featuring musical and cultural performances blending Saudi and Japanese cultures.
