With the endorsement of Prince Faisal bin Bandar bin Abdulaziz, Governor of the Riyadh Region, the metropolis is set to welcome the anticipated International Exhibition for Nonprofit Sector (IENA 2024), under the banner of ‘Effective Partnerships for Sustainable Development.’ The exhibition, which opens its doors on May 26 in Riyadh, is poised to become a pivotal event for the sector.
Minister of Human Resources and Social Development, Eng. Ahmed Al-Rajhi, who also chairs the Board of Directors of the National Center for Non-Profit Sector, will grace the opening ceremony of the exhibition.
A first for the Kingdom, IENA dedicates itself to bolstering the capabilities of non-profit organizations across 120 varied sectors. It strives to tackle both community development challenges and personal issues, reflecting its comprehensive approach.
In its sophomore year, the exhibition strives to cast a spotlight on the swift advancements within the non-profit realm and its influential role in fulfilling the objectives of the ambitious Saudi Vision 2030. IENA serves as an integral junction for ongoing dialogue among industry experts, and fosters ties between local and international non-profit bodies. The current iteration will exhibit the achievements and insights of the participating organizations from the non-profit domain, including those of global entities.
Those with keen interest can secure their spot and glean additional insights into the exhibition by visiting the official website.
The inaugural IENA was marked by the attendance of 74 local and international non-profit groups. During the event, 69 strategic agreements were inked, including initiatives to establish investment portfolios for sector enterprises, cumulatively valued at over SAR100 million.
