ABOUT AFRICA BUILD SHOW 

ABS 2023, to take place in Accra, Ghana, the western gateway into the  Africa market, provides you with an exclusive opportunity to explore new  territories and multiply your export activities. You will meet and network  with global companies and fellow professionals to discuss the latest  market trends, cutting-edge technologies and much more. Both exhibitors and visitors at the Africa Build Show will be given 3 full  days, an opportunity to interact and discuss partnership agreements,  sign agency and distributorship contracts and develop new market  strategies and cooperation schemes.  At the focal point of a lucrative multibillion-dollar construction market,  Africa Build Show taking place from 23-25 October 2023 in Ghana,  represents the ideal B2B platform for global construction suppliers who  are keen on increasing their footprint in Africa by covering the entire  value chain from project inception to completion.

WHY GHANA 

According to the World Economic Forum (WEF), West Africa is the  world’s fastest growing economy. Ghana, largely known as one of  the world’s largest producers of cocoa, has stepped its oil and gas  explorations, increasing the country’s economic profile further. The International Monetary Fund estimates that Ghana’s GDP rose  by 8.8% in 2019, outperforming nearly all emerging and  developed economies. The government’s investments into infrastructure, rapid urbanisa-tion and the rise of the energy, green energy and 4IR sector  continue to spur demand for the country’s construction sector.  Recent developments in the country have given birth to a boom in  building and construction, including the commercial, residential  and public housing sector, generating and injecting billions of  dollars which are injected annually into the West African republic.  The real estate market’s positive perspective and attraction is  based on Ghana's central African location and its political stability.  An increasing number of the Ghanaian nationals across the globe  invest in properties and the Ghana government is supportive of  the private sector trend.
