Accredit Solutions, a global leader in accreditation, credentialing and access-management technology for major sporting, entertainment and government events and venues, has announced the establishment of a new local entity in Saudi Arabia, reinforcing its long-standing commitment to the region and its alignment with the Kingdom’s Vision 2030.
Accredit Solutions has supported major projects in Saudi Arabia since 2019, working with NEOM on the NEOM Beach Games (2019–2024) and providing accreditation systems for landmark events including MDL Beast, Riyadh Season, Winter Wonderland Diriyah, the Copa Cup, and the Spanish Super Cup.
The Kingdom’s Vision 2030 has positioned Saudi Arabia at the forefront of global investment in sports, entertainment and venue infrastructure, creating some of the most advanced, innovative and inclusive facilities in the world. With decades of delivering accreditation technology for the world’s biggest and most high-profile events, Accredit Solutions is a trusted partner for this next stage of development, bringing proven capability to Saudi Arabia’s vision for secure, world-class events.
The company’s platform manages the full accreditation lifecycle – from identity verification and background checks to badge production, access control and live-site monitoring – enabling organisers to manage large-scale operations with complete control, safety and compliance.
Accredit Solutions provided the full accreditation lifecycle for the 2025 SVB LIVE Conference & Exhibition – hosted at Villa Park, with tours of bp pulse LIVE and BCFC’s St. Andrew’s @ Knighthead Park – alongside Axess AG and Wicket.
The launch of a dedicated Saudi entity marks a significant step in strengthening local operations to support the Kingdom’s rapidly expanding sports, entertainment and major-events sectors.
Supporting Vision 2030 with Local Investment and Innovation
Peder Berg, CEO of Accredit Solutions, said:
“This is an incredibly proud moment for Accredit Solutions. Saudi Arabia has become one of the most dynamic live event markets in the world. We’ve been privileged to support some of the Kingdom’s landmark sporting and cultural projects over the past six years, and establishing a permanent presence here demonstrates our deep commitment to helping Saudi’s events industry grow safely, efficiently and in full alignment with Vision 2030.”
Nicola Greenaway-Fuller, COO of Accredit Solutions, added:
“Having a local entity allows us to better serve our Saudi and regional clients – delivering faster implementation, on-the-ground support and solutions tailored to local regulations and operational needs. Our goal is to empower every organiser with the tools and confidence to deliver secure, world-class events that bring people together.”
Trusted Technology, Global Experience
Accredit Solutions’ secure, cloud-based platform has processed over 5 million credentials worldwide, helping event organisers streamline every stage of accreditation – from online applications and ID verification to real-time access management and reporting dashboards.
By integrating with venue security systems, ticketing platforms and government compliance processes, Accredit Solutions ensures that only authorised personnel, athletes, media and VIPs are granted access – enhancing safety, efficiency and accountability across complex event operations.
The 2026 SVB LIVE Conference & Exhibition – with its focus on elevating and innovating the live experience – is being hosted at Everton’s spectacular new Hill Dickinson Stadium on October 1st and 2nd. Accredit Solutions is a longstanding partner sponsor.
In the GCC, Accredit Solutions has supported flagship projects such as Expo 2020 Dubai, the Dubai Sevens, and COP28, alongside global clients including the NFL, Premier League, and leading sports governing bodies and government agencies.
This latest expansion underscores Accredit Solutions’ position as a trusted partner for major events, leagues and venues seeking to strengthen operational control, improve security and deliver exceptional live experiences.
