Buildexpo Kenya Nairobi

Buildexpo Kenya is the leading international trade fair for the construction industry and related sectors in East Africa. It is held annually by the renowned Expo Group UAE, a company specializing in trade show formats for emerging markets. The event traditionally takes place at the Kenyatta International Conference Center (KICC) in the heart of Nairobi—an architecturally striking and easily accessible exhibition venue.

With a clear focus on the African market, the fair brings together international industry professionals and regional market expertise. It targets decision-makers, engineers, architects, interior designers, and entrepreneurs from the construction sector as well as adjacent industries such as furniture and lighting. Exhibitors from over 20 countries showcase the latest products, systems, and technologies—ranging from building materials and heavy machinery for civil and structural engineering to solutions for water management, sanitation, electrical installations, and contemporary lighting design. Central themes include infrastructure development, sustainable resource use, and modern interior architecture.

More than a traditional trade fair, Buildexpo Kenya serves as a platform for exchange, collaboration, and new business opportunities. Its comprehensive supporting program features product demonstrations, expert lectures, and networking events that promote knowledge sharing and facilitate market entry. Key topics include digitalization in construction, energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and safety standards. As part of a broader series of events held in other rapidly growing African markets, Buildexpo Kenya represents a strategic meeting point for international exhibitors.

Firmly established in the African trade fair calendar, Buildexpo Kenya not only supports the local economy but also positions Nairobi as a regional hub for innovation and progress in the construction and infrastructure sectors. The KICC offers more than just a central location and modern facilities—it also provides excellent connectivity to hotels, the airport, and public transportation.

The Buildexpo Kenya will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 08. July to Friday, 10. July 2026 in Nairobi.
