沙特在基础设施建设领域投资始终超出人们的想象。尤其是沙特正致力于全国基础交通设施的发展，其中就包括将建设全球最先进的铁路和地铁交通网络。未来10年，预计沙特仅在铁路项目上投资就达790亿美元。
到2015年，海合会国家与此相关的物流项目总价值也接近37亿美元。去年，借助大量投资、高消费和快速经济增长，海合会国家签下的物流项目合同数量位居中东地区之首。大数量及大范围的投资行动将为开发商、承包商、交通运输设备运营商及相关行业创造大量机遇。
为进一步突显沙特的潜在市场优势，利雅得展览公司(REC)近日宣布将于2014年举办沙特运输、物流展览会和铁路、地铁、城市交通展览会。
这两项展会将在2014年10月27日至29日在利雅得国际会议展览中心(RICEC)举办，展会将展示个行业国际最新产品、设备、技术和服务，并提供卓有成效的社交论坛。
2014年沙特物流运输展和轨道交通展受到沙特交通运输部和铁道部的大力支持。展会期间，还将同期举办沙特交通运输和物流研讨会。研讨会将为政府重要决策者、交通运输机构、港口部门和行业专家提供制定策略、讨论最新案例、交换信息的绝佳平台。

REC launches Saudi Logitrans 2014 and Saudi Rail 2014
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s (KSA) infrastructure spending continues to surpass expectations. The Kingdom is especially committed to a nationwide transportation infrastructure expansion program which will feature one of the world’s most sophisticated rail and metro networks. Spending on rail projects alone is forecast to reach around USD 79 billion in the next 10 years.
The total value of logistics projects connected to such developments across the GCC is projected to reach USD 3.7 billion by 2015. Last year GCC countries signed the biggest number of logistics contracts in the Middle East, fueled by large investments, high consumer spending, and rapid economic growth. The magnitude and multi-modal scope of regional transport investment initiatives are creating huge opportunities for developers, contractors, transport facility operators and their related industries.
To highlight Saudi Arabia’s market potential, Riyadh Exhibitions Company (REC), the leading exhibitions and conferences organizer, recently announced the launch of Saudi Logitrans 2014 – The International Exhibition for Transport, Logistics and Freight, and Saudi Rail 2014 – The International Exhibition for Rail, Metro Lines and Urban Transportation.
The two events will be held from October 27 to 29, 2014 at the Riyadh International Convention and Exhibitions Center (RICEC), showcasing the latest products, equipment, technologies and services from international businesses from respective industries and providing an effective networking forum.
Zeyad Al Rukban, Deputy General Manager, Riyadh Exhibitions Company, said: “The aggressive pace of transportation infrastructure development in Saudi Arabia offers a conducive environment for regional and international logistics service providers to establish and expand their presence here. By providing integrated supply chains, freight forwarding services and specialized warehousing zones, these organizations can in turn boost the Kingdom’s industrial growth. Saudi Logitrans 2014 and Saudi Rail 2014 will facilitate the development of this rapidly expanding sector and highlight the wealth of existing and future opportunities that the kingdom and wider GCC have to offer. It is an ideal platform to assess market needs and challenges as it will gather leading businesses and professionals from the industry.”
Saudi Logitrans 2014 and Saudi Rail 2014 are being organized under the patronage of the Saudi Ministry of Transport and Saudi Railways Organization. The Saudi Transport and Logistics seminars will be hosted concurrently. They will provide a forum for key government decision makers, transportation bodies, port authorities and industry professionals to announce initiatives, formulate strategies, discuss the latest case studies, and exchange information on global best practices.
