Constructionshows
Buildexpo Africa – Kigali is a leading international construction and building materials exhibition held in Kigali, Rwanda, that brings together industry professionals, manufacturers, suppliers, and trade visitors from across East Africa and beyond. Organised as a comprehensive platform for the construction sector, the event showcases the latest building machinery, materials, construction equipment, and engineering solutions that support both large-scale infrastructure and building projects.
The exhibition typically takes place at the Kigali Convention Centre, one of the region’s premier venues for international trade fairs and business events. Buildexpo Africa features a wide range of exhibitors presenting products and services covering structural building materials, earthmoving machinery, construction vehicles, finishing products, natural stone and ceramics, municipal engineering solutions, and tools used in modern building practice.
A defining strength of Buildexpo Africa is its international and regional business focus. The event attracts construction professionals including architects, engineers, contractors, project developers, distributors, and suppliers who are active in the construction sector. This mix creates valuable opportunities for industry networking, market exploration, and business development across domestic and international markets.
In addition to product displays, Buildexpo Africa often serves as a meeting point for learning and discussion on emerging trends, technologies, and innovations that are influencing the construction industry in Africa. While the emphasis is on trade and technology discovery, participants can benefit from informal exchanges and insights into regional construction priorities and market dynamics.
Held in Rwanda’s capital — a rapidly developing urban centre with growing demand for infrastructure and building projects — Buildexpo Africa provides a strategic platform for suppliers and buyers to connect, explore new solutions, and support construction growth across East Africa.
