Almabani Participates in Saudi Arabia–Canada Investment Forum as FCC–Almabani JV Advances Low Carbon Innovation for King Salman International Airport
Almabani took part in the Saudi Arabia–Canada Investment Forum, a high-level gathering that brought together government officials, financiers and industrial leaders from both countries to explore new avenues for trade, investment and technical cooperation. For Almabani, the event was an opportunity to showcase the scale of its current aviation portfolio and to strengthen the international relationships that underpin its delivery model.
The company’s participation centred on the FCC–Almabani joint venture, which is delivering key packages of the King Salman International Airport programme. Widely regarded as one of the largest aviation infrastructure undertakings in the world, the programme will transform the Kingdom’s capital region into a global aviation hub and create a platform for long-term economic growth.
Central to the joint venture’s presentation was its focus on low-carbon innovation. Across the airport works, the team is applying construction methods and materials designed to reduce embodied carbon, improve energy efficiency and shrink the environmental footprint of the project. This includes careful material selection, waste reduction, more efficient plant and equipment, and the early integration of sustainability into design and planning decisions.
The forum also provided a platform to discuss how international partnerships can accelerate technology transfer, build local capability and raise the standard of delivery on major infrastructure. For a company with deep roots in Saudi Arabia, collaboration with Canadian institutions and firms opens access to specialised expertise in engineering, environmental management and digital delivery.
Almabani’s aviation track record is substantial. Its portfolio spans runways, terminal infrastructure and the supporting systems that keep modern airports running, and the company has consistently delivered against the demanding schedules and quality standards of the Kingdom’s airport programmes. This experience places the FCC–Almabani joint venture in a strong position to deliver complex packages on a programme of national importance.
Beyond the immediate project, participation in events such as this reflects a broader strategy. Almabani aims to combine its own Saudi delivery experience with the knowledge of global partners so that flagship projects set new benchmarks in quality, safety and sustainability while creating opportunities for local talent and industry.
The King Salman International Airport programme represents a defining opportunity for the Kingdom, and Almabani is proud to play a role in it. The company remains focused on delivering its scope safely, sustainably and to the highest standard, and it looks forward to the collaborations that will make that ambition a reality over the years ahead.
The forum also underscored the growing importance of sustainability in international investment decisions. Institutional investors and development partners are placing greater weight on how major projects address their environmental impact, and the FCC–Almabani joint venture is positioning itself to meet that expectation.
For the joint venture, low-carbon innovation is not a marketing theme but a practical discipline. From the early selection of materials to the management of plant and logistics, every decision is examined through the lens of its carbon impact, helping to deliver a project that is efficient in both cost and emissions.
Almabani views the deepening of Canadian–Saudi cooperation as a significant opportunity. By combining complementary strengths, the two sides can accelerate the adoption of new technology and build the local industrial capability that will sustain the Kingdom’s infrastructure ambitions well beyond the current programme.
The company extends its thanks to the organisers of the forum and to the partners who engaged with its team. Almabani looks forward to translating the conversations from the event into concrete collaboration on the King Salman International Airport programme and beyond.
