RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, June 19, 2025 /CNW/ -- PIF today announced the launch of Expo 2030 Riyadh Company (ERC), wholly owned by PIF, to build and operate the facilities of Expo 2030 Riyadh – Saudi Arabia's first World Expo – as well as preserving the legacy of the event.
The masterplan for Expo 2030 Riyadh covers an area of 6 million square meters, making it one of the biggest World Expo sites. The Expo will be to the north of the city, near the future King Salman International Airport, and with direct connections to the Saudi capital's landmarks.
Expo 2030 Riyadh is projected to attract more than 40 million visits. After the Expo event, ERC plans to lead the transformation of the Expo's gated area into a global village to serve as a multicultural hub for retail, food and beverage, surrounded by an international residential community with world-class amenities, and setting new standards in sustainable tourism.
PIF continues with its strategic mandate: to achieve economic impact for Saudi Arabia while securing sustainable returns. PIF is one of the world's most impactful investors, driving Saudi Arabia's economic diversification while also enabling the creation of key sectors and opportunities that help shape the global economy. PIF leads the development of transformative giga-projects and landmark real estate initiatives across Saudi Arabia.
Saad Alkroud, Head of the Local Real Estate Investment Division at PIF said:"ERC benefits from PIF's diverse local and global ecosystem and the establishment of the company aligns with PIF's local real estate strategy, which drives economic transformation and diversification, advancing urban innovation and enhancing quality of life, driven by the ambitious goals of Saudi Vision 2030."
ERC is swiftly launching operations to fulfill its mandate, and will partner with the local and global private sector to achieve its goals for construction, cultural programming and event management.
Expo 2030 Riyadh runs from Oct. 1, 2030 to March 31, 2031 and will further strengthen the city's attractiveness to international businesses. It marks the city's status as one of the world's fastest-transforming capitals, one that combines sustainability, connectivity and quality of life at scale. Riyadh was awarded the hosting rights for Expo 2030 in November 2024, winning the vote in the first round.
During its construction phases, Expo 2030 Riyadh and its legacy are projected to contribute around $64 billion to Saudi GDP and generate approximately 171,000 direct and indirect jobs. Once operational, it is expected to contribute approximately $5.6 billion to GDP.
Countries participating in Expo 2030 Riyadh will have the option of building permanent pavilions and being part of the event's legacy. The Expo will provide opportunities for long-term business and investment growth.

Create Account Rolapp, the chief media and business officer for the NFL and a key executive for Commissioner Roger Goodell, was introduced Tuesday as CEO, a position that had never existed in the tour's six decades of existence. 'Players are central to everything we do, and making sure they are supported and heard will be a top priority,' Rolapp said in an open letter. 'At the same time, we are going to keep challenging ourselves to grow the game in new ways, reach new fans, and create a tour that reflects the future of sports and entertainment.' Monahan announced last December the search for a CEO. Still unclear was Monahan's role until the announcement of Rolapp. Monahan will shift his day-to-day responsibilities to Rolapp and focus more on his position on the PGA Tour board, along with the commercial PGA Tour Enterprises board, through 2026. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Rolapp was introduced two days after the U.S. Open, one of four times a year all the best players are together. Monahan, who guided all of golf through the COVID-19 pandemic, was criticized for not taking a meeting with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia when it wanted to invest in golf with a team component. LIV Golf began in June 2022 and lured away over the next two years Bryson DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka, Jon Rahm and Dustin Johnson. Monahan and two board members, Jimmy Dunne and Ed Herlihy, then secretly met with PIF leadership and reached an agreement in late May 2023 that was geared toward bringing golf back together. That infuriated PGA Tour players who stayed loyal. The framework agreement was never finalized. The PGA Tour and PIF are still negotiating on an investment deal, and not even President Donald Trump could smooth the way after a meeting in February. 'Brian is the perfect choice for the next chapter of the PGA Tour,' Monahan added. 'His arrival strengthens our leadership team and reflects our shared commitment to the TOUR's continued evolution. With Brian's expertise and vision, and the trust we've established with our players and fans, I'm more confident than ever in the future we're building.'
