AFRICA’S MEGA BUILDING & CONSTRUCTION EVENT

ABOUT BUILDEXPO KENYA 2024

Buildexpo Africa is the only show with the widest range of the latest technology in building materials, mining machines, construction machinery, and heavy equipment. At the 25th edition of Buildexpo, East Africa’s largest building and construction fair, we bring you exhibitors from over 42 countries who are the finest in infrastructure development.

Find what suits you best from about 14.3 million business prospects during the three-day event, with over 10,000 products, equipment, and machinery on display across an expanse of more than 10,000 square meters. Last year’s event witnessed international pavilion participation from India, Turkey, China, Italy, Malaysia and Germany.

Over the years, we have grown to cater to the demands of not just the Kenyan market, but of the whole region of East Africa. This mega expo is the ideal forum for international players to showcase their products and services to the huge market in Africa.

We receive visitors from across East Africa, and trade visitors are invited directly in collaboration with regional trade bodies in Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, Somalia, Mozambique, and Congo. Kenya is certainly one of the biggest markets in Africa, but Buildexpo also lays strong emphasis on attracting traders and importers from neighboring countries.

According to the World Bank, infrastructure is the key to Africa’s economic turnaround and will play an even greater role in the continent’s continued development. Kenya, in particular, is making giant strides in infrastructure and urbanization, with demarcated economic zones, commercial and residential buildings, and resorts for tourists. The country’s infrastructure and construction industry value is expected to double between 2019 and 2020. There has already been a spike in the demand for building materials and machinery.

MARKET INFO

The strength of the tourist industry coupled with years of growth in manufacturing and services has made Kenya, especially Nairobi, the commercial center of East Africa.

Expogroup began its operations in 1996 starting with export-oriented International Trade Exhibitions in the Middle East & Africa. Since then, it has been organizing annual trade fairs in 14 countries within the region itself. Apart from that, Expogroup has presented several other events in emerging markets such as the CIS, Australia, Latin America & India.

Completing 27 years in the industry, Expogroup has spread its network in more than 37 countries managing more than 25 trade fairs annually in various countries. Most of the hard work was done in the absence of modern communication systems and facilities but come another 15 years, we foresee double the growth.

The main factors that have contributed to our growth have been many, but to share a few important ones with you readers will be:

Courage is Destiny. Not afraid of consequences, we have taken all the risks that came our way. Middle East & Africa were not easy to start with. Disorganization, Corruption, lack of facilities, and what not. But falling and rising, we kept going with faith only in ourselves.

Seeing beyond what exists. We research and venture into new markets, and provide extra services and support to our clientele. For us, it’s not just about providing a booth. We try hard to ensure that exhibitors return with high business prospects and for that, we go a long way into market research, focused promotions, database collection, media partnership, and conferences.

Vigorous staff training. Each recruitment goes through vital training sessions irrespective of his/her position or department. Apart from the regular training sessions at each unit, Expogroup organizes a special 10-day residential training course for the managers and team leaders of various departments. The staff, considered more as a family is provided enough training to succeed as a professional for the rest of his life, with or without us. What is taught first and is most important in our training sessions is ” How to keep happy & be happy “. Today, our support teams are one of the best in the industry worldwide.

Enough of ourselves, we need now to share our success and thank all our old and new staff members, agents worldwide, government associations, and media partners without whom we wouldn’t have gone so far in such a short period.
