Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – VIBE, powered by LiveWell from the Ministry of Health, is set to take centre stage at the Global Health Exhibition 2025 (GHE 2025) as the region’s premier platform for exploring the intersection of wellness, innovation, and longevity. Co-located within GHE, VIBE was created in response to Saudi Arabia’s rapidly growing wellness economy and its alignment with the Vision 2030 Quality of Life Program, which prioritizes preventive health, active lifestyles, and wellbeing as cornerstones of sustainable growth.
A New Era of Wellness in Saudi Arabia
With the Saudi Arabia’s wellness economy valued at USD 19.8 billion[1], Saudi Arabia is emerging as one of the world’s most dynamic hubs. VIBE provides a dedicated space to explore how wellness technologies, lifestyle medicine, and sports innovation are shaping the nation’s future health landscape.
“The Global Health Exhibition serves as a vital platform to demonstrate how innovation, wellness, and investment converge to create healthier societies,” said HRH Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal Al Saud. “I am honoured to participate and share how the Saudi Sports for All Federation, along with initiatives like the Riyadh Marathon, contributes to the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 Quality of Life pillar. We aim to enhance accessibility in sports for people of all ages and abilities while exploring the transformative roles that sports science and medical technology play in building vibrant communities.
This forum allows us to engage with a global audience on how wellness can serve as a foundation for sustainable growth. Through KBW Ventures’ investments in biotechnology, diagnostics, and emerging health technologies, I look forward to highlighting how the combination of sports and innovation can act as catalysts for global progress.”
