At least 150 exhibitors from over 20 countries are expected to converge in Nairobi during this year’s Big 5 Construct Kenya which will provide a platform to industry players to explore emerging trends in the construction sector.
The event targets to harness opportunities in Kenya’s construction sector by linking policymakers, consumers and manufacturers.
Data by ABiQ indicates that Kenya’s construction market is currently valued at $20 billion and is projected to grow by 7.5pc annually with continued expansion across housing, construction and infrastructure.
“Kenya’s construction sector is gaining real momentum, fuelled by ambitious construction and infrastructure programs and nationwide housing initiatives under Vision 2030. Big 5 Construct Kenya is at the heart of this growth, connecting decision-makers, innovators and suppliers, supporting the country’s construction sector,” said Josine Heijmans, Senior Vice President, dmg events.
The expo will showcase latest products, technologies and solutions, equipment and systems to meet the country’s evolving urban and construction needs.
At least 9,000 industry professionals, including project managers, consultants, contractors, engineers, architects and government decision-makers are expected during the event slated for next month.
“The exhibition provides a meeting ground for industry leaders to discover practical solutions, explore emerging trends and drive projects that will contribute to the development of Kenya’s construction landscape,” added Heijmans.
Other solutions include heavy construction machinery and vehicles, mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) components and metal, steel and aluminium products.
A growing emphasis on speed and sustainability is reflected in the inclusion of offsite and modular construction, intelligent building systems, solar technologies and services and windows, doors and façades, ensuring that Big 5 Construct Kenya addresses both traditional requirements and modern advancements.
