FROM VISION TO VELOCITY:
ADVANCING FLOW TECHNOLOGY
- April 14th & 15th, 2026
- Dammam, Saudi Arabia
FLOWTECH OVERVIEW & ROADMAP
The Region's First Dedicated Engineering Platform for Industrial Fluid Systems
FlowTech Middle East Conference 2026 is the region’s first dedicated engineering platform focused entirely on industrial fluid systems: pumps, valves, actuators, sealing systems, flow meters, coatings, and complex fluid networks that underpin the GCC’s oil & gas, petrochemical, utilities, water, district cooling, and industrial sectors.
Hosted in Dhahran 4 the strategic heart of the region’s energy and industrial ecosystem the conference convenes mechanical, process, reliability, maintenance, and project leaders to address real-world performance challenges, reliability risks, and future requirements driven by Vision 2030, localisation policies, and net-zero ambitions.
The conference also serves as the technical soft launch of the FlowTech Middle East Exhibition 2027, which will become the region’s annual B2B hub for flow engineering technologies.
About Flowtech Conference
