The largest international Building and Construction show in East Africa based at the heart of one of the most active and exciting
markets, Kenya & Tanzania, once again will gather the industry for three appealing days at the Kenyatta International Conference
Centre, Kenya on 02 – 04 May 2015 and at Mlimani Conference Centre, Tanzania on 16 – 18 October 2015.

Statistics tell a lot on the success of this year’s edition of the show. 250+ exhibitors, of which 125 coming from outside Kenya and
Tanzania, including 8 country pavilions from Belgium, China, India, Italy, Turkey, South Africa and Malaysia, 8,680 professional
visitors made this year upbeat event the biggest in East Africa. Of the total 2014 visitors, 80% came from East Africa and 20%
came from others parts of Africa. The questionnaire run among both domestic and international visitors during the show revealed
great satisfaction with the show visits. Even more significant are the numbers regarding the booths space which the exhibitors
rebooked on the spot for the next 2015 show: 45.7% of the space is already confirmed by the exhibitors during the 3-days event,
with an increase of 35.6% compared to the booths sales performance made onsite in 2013.

Some of the most interesting products presented at BUILDEXPO were highlighted and brought to the spotlight thanks to special
promotion campaigns launched by the show organizers. Some of the new products stood out in terms of innovative design, other
in terms of innovative materials and other in terms of technology. The key players for 2014 event who featured at the event can

Keeping pace with the industry trends, the show is also re-inventing itself every year. The huge variety of events is reflecting the
industry’s demand for deeper knowledge and business opportunities.

A last remarkable note about this successful 2014 edition should refer to the onsite show experience provided to all attendees.
Open area displays areas were throughout the venue to give extra attention to specific product categories and help visitors to
better understand the products.

The preparation for the 18th edition has already started, and BUILDEXPO will come back in MAY 2015 between the 2nd and 4th
and in OCTOBER between 16th and 18th to offer another ‘sparkling’ international event dedicated to the building & construction industry
