My plan for this sector is to play a vital role as a local brand by providing high quality products and services to all my customers, especially the kids and youth, and create an impact by promoting a healthy life style through our 3E module (education, engage and empower).

With the announcement of Saudi Arabias Vision 2030 Simtec Systems closely observes the development of the entertainment and leisure market. Knowing about the first ever entertainment trade show it was an easy decision to participate.

Andrea Stickel

Director Business Development simtec Syatems GmbH

Saudi Arabia has always been a country of fundamental importance for Guzzi Eugenio. In fact, since we started attending entertainment fairs in the Middle East, in 2003, we have had continuous and increasing requests for games from Saudi investors, and thanks to this, we have also been able to consolidate relationships with the major companies involved in the creation of FECs or shopping malls, such as Al-Othaim and Al Hokair. We are sure that our new product can have a decisive and important impact in this market because it targets children, who love to get entertained with fun.

Emanuele Guzzi

SALES MANAGER Guzzi Eugenio

With the establishment of the Saudi General Entertainment Authority in 2016 along with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plans it is evident that the Kingdom is opening its doors to the wider business community whilst targeting entertainment as one of their key investment sectors for growth. The show presents a fantastic opportunity for EMBED to cement our existing relationships with key players in the Saudi Arabian Leisure and FEC market and at the same time provide access to the wider market enabling us to demonstrate why EMBED is the supplier of choice with our cashless card and on-line ticketing solutions.
