Kenya has a well-developed building and construction industry with quality engineering, building and architectural design services being readily available. This industry is currently on an upward trend following re-habilitation and reconstruction of roads and bridges etc.
With increase in population, and growing demand for affordable housing, opportunities exist in the construction of residential, commercial and industrial buildings including prefabricated low-cost housing. Investors can also manufacture and supply construction materials and components for the sector.
BUILDEXPO AFRICA is the only show with the widest range of latest technology in construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment. This event is going to be held in July 2019 and is all set to present over 10,000 products, equipment and machinery from over 35 countries.
The number of exhibitors and visitors in 2020 is expected to rise by at least 20% since an aggressive campaign has been launched while celebrating the event’s 23rd birthday. Trade visitors from all over East & Central African countries are being invited directly and in collaboration with several regional trade bodies in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, Somalia, Mozambique & Zaire. Though Kenya by itself is one of the biggest markets in Africa, major emphasis is being laid upon attracting traders and importers from neighboring countries. The experience and comments of exhibitors at previous events indicate substantial gains from unexpected foreign visitors and we strongly feel that a rise in such statistics would ensure business especially for the foreign participants who form almost 80 – 85% of the exhibition.
Major categories that will be covered under this mega event are:
• Building & Construction
• Mining and Water Technology
• Lighting
• Tools & Hardware
• Air Conditioning & Refrigeration
• Safety / Security
The mega expo is being organized by Expogroup Worldwide, organizers of the largest trade shows in Africa. (www.expogr.com)
