MYCRANE Named Digital Innovation Partner for HEC 2026

MYCRANE, the world’s first digital platform for crane rental and procurement, has been named the Digital Innovation Partner for the Heavy Equipment Connect Forum & Expo 2026 (HEC), a major government-backed event aligned with Saudi Arabia’s $1 trillion industrial transformation.

The inaugural three-day conference and exhibition will be held from February 2–4, 2026, at the Dhahran Expo, Dammam, and is set to become the Kingdom’s largest gathering dedicated to heavy machinery and construction equipment. Organised under the patronage of the National Industrial Development Center (NIDC) — the core driver of Saudi Arabia’s industrial ambition under Vision 2030 — HEC will convene global manufacturers, investors, contractors, and policymakers.

As Digital Innovation Partner, MYCRANE will support the event’s technology architecture, digital engagement strategy, and attendee experience, reflecting a shared vision to establish Saudi Arabia as the region’s hub for heavy equipment innovation and smart industrial solutions.

“We are honoured to work alongside Heavy Equipment Connect, a government-backed platform advancing Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 ambitions,” said Andrei Geikalo, Founder and CEO, MYCRANE. “Our appointment reinforces that technology is no longer optional — it is the foundation of the heavy equipment industry’s future. Together, we aim to deliver an experience built on innovation, connectivity and opportunity.”

Aligning with Saudi Arabia’s expansive industrial growth agenda, Heavy Equipment Connect will highlight localization, technology adoption, sustainability, and industry innovation, creating a gateway for global OEMs and investors to engage directly with the Kingdom’s rapidly growing industrial ecosystem.

Headquartered in Dubai, MYCRANE is developing smart registration tools and AI-enabled matchmaking systems to help OEMs, contractors and suppliers connect more efficiently — supporting the Kingdom’s vision of developing a competitive, digitally advanced industrial base.

During HEC 2026, attendees will meet the MYCRANE team, explore the company’s online platform, and learn how digital solutions are transforming heavy equipment procurement and project execution worldwide.

The event will span:
  • 30,000 sqm outdoor exhibition for machinery and equipment demonstrations
  • 10,000 sqm indoor exhibition hall featuring global OEMs and distributors
  • 5,000 sqm live demo zone showcasing heavy equipment in action

Confirmed exhibitors include MYCRANE, Zahid Group, SANY, Saudi Diesel, Zoomlion, WOLFFKRAN, XCMG and other global industry leaders.
