Building 19
FCI is a KAUST-led national platform that brings together academia, government and industry to help transform Saudi Arabia’s cement sector. After a successful first event in 2025, the 2026 conference focuses on how AI and digital tools can make cement production cleaner and more efficient.
The FCI 2nd Annual Conference will bring together Saudi Arabia’s cement industry leadership, technology innovators, researchers, policymakers, and solution providers for three days of focused capability building, applied knowledge exchange, and strategic dialogue.
The conference is designed around one objective: equipping Saudi cement plants with the tools, knowledge, and connections needed to deploy AI and digital technologies at scale, and to make those deployments count toward measurable decarbonization and operational excellence.
