Abu Dhabi to host global construction expo
Abu Dhabi will be the home city in the Middle East for Intermat, the international exhibition for machinery, materials and equipment for construction and infrastructure, the first edition of which will be held next year. “Abu Dhabi is the perfect choice to host the Middle East edition of Intermat. The city is expanding rapidly and the infrastructure projects and developments here are truly world class,” said Maryvonne Lanoë, Intermat exhibition manager.
“This provides the perfect backdrop for the world’s construction industry to showcase their services and products.”
The first Intermat Middle East will take place from March 28 to 30, 2011 in the Abu Dhabi National Exhibitions Company centre in Abu Dhabi and will be co-located with the Arabian Construction Week.
Intermat Middle East will take advantage of the Arabian Construction Week’s track record of attracting high quality visitors and delegates and its proposition which is complementary to that of Intermat, to draw numerous visitors from the Middle East, Africa, the Gulf, Iran and the countries bordering the Black and Caspian Seas.
In developing a trade event for the UAE, French event organiser Comexposium and its partners will give professionals from across the world’s road and urban infrastructure and interurban transport industries the opportunity to penetrate the Mena markets, whose major project portfolio totals $3 trillion.
In 2010, the UAE will form the largest market in the region with 1,600 projects underway in construction, non-residential buildings, civil engineering/infrastructures and tourism.
Intermat is joining forces with Mecom Forums, a Clarion Events partner, an international company located in the UAE, to launch its Middle East event.
“Our new partnership with Intermat now ensures that we are providing a totally unique exhibition platform within the Middle East,” said Christopher Hudson, managing director, Mecom Forums - a Clarion Events partner.
“Four dedicated trade shows and four international summits co-located and running at the same time will ensure that we are providing the first of its kind platform for construction professionals in the Middle East,” he added.
Intermat, the largest exhibition in France and the second largest construction sector exhibition worldwide, has existed for 25 years and takes place every three years in Paris.
