Premiere of OS+H Middle East in Dubai Postponed to 2027

The premiere of OS+H Middle East in Dubai has been postponed to May 24–26, 2027. This decision was made by Messe Düsseldorf and the Messe Düsseldorf Gulf Office to ensure the best possible environment for exhibitors, partners and visitors. The postponement is intended to create optimal conditions for the successful launch of the new platform for occupational safety and health in the Middle East and to provide the international OSH community with stable and reliable framework conditions as well as the high standards associated with the international A+A portfolio.

The teams at Messe Düsseldorf and the Messe Düsseldorf Gulf Office continue to work intensively on preparations for the event, which has already generated strong market interest and attracted numerous companies and partners from the fields of occupational safety and health, personal protective equipment and workplace safety.
“OS+H Middle East is a strategically important project for us and a key step in the international expansion of the A+A portfolio. For this very reason, we want to realize the event in an environment that offers our exhibitors, partners and visitors maximum planning reliability and the best possible conditions for successful business opportunities,” explains Petra Cullmann, Executive Director Messe Düsseldorf. “We are convinced that the postponement is the right step to ensure the long-term success of the event.”

OS+H Middle East was originally scheduled to take place from 12 to 14 October 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) and was intended to expand the international A+A network in one of the world’s most dynamic economic regions. With this event, Messe Düsseldorf underlines the international importance of occupational safety and health and the growing relevance of the MENA region for innovative safety and health technologies.
