Erbil Build Expo Erbil

Since its inception in 2009, the Erbil Build Expo has been the most significant and largest international trade fair for construction and mechanical engineering in Iraq. Held annually at the modern Erbil International Fair Ground—centrally located in Erbil, the capital of the Kurdistan Autonomous Region—it is organized by Pyramids Grup Fuarcılık A.Ş., a well-established Turkish trade fair organizer with extensive global experience in industry-specific exhibitions.

The Erbil Build Expo serves as a key platform for professionals in construction, infrastructure, and mechanical engineering across the Middle East. Each year, companies from numerous countries come together to exchange expertise, establish new business connections, and gain access to the growing Iraqi market. The exhibition showcases the latest technologies, products, and services, including construction machinery, modern building materials, stone processing equipment, and electrotechnical systems.

The fair covers a wide thematic spectrum—from earthworks and cement products to industrial electrical engineering, water management, occupational safety, and measurement technology. A particular emphasis is placed on solutions for infrastructure development, sustainable construction, and smart building technologies. Large-scale projects and technical innovations are frequently presented in live demonstrations or special exhibitions.

For Erbil and the wider Kurdistan Region, the expo is a major economic driver. It highlights Iraq's investment potential, promotes knowledge transfer, and supports the modernization of the construction industry—a sector of strategic importance in light of urbanization and population growth.

Trade visitors from construction companies, planning offices, ministries, government agencies, and professional associations use the expo to gain market insights and explore new partnerships. At the same time, it facilitates international networking and access to technical know-how.

The Erbil International Fair Ground offers modern infrastructure, excellent transport connections, and close proximity to the international airport. As such, the Erbil Build Expo is not only a key industry event but also a symbol of the region's economic opening and growing international relevance.

The Erbil Build Expo takes place annually, and therefore for the fifteenth time previsibly in May 2026 in Erbil.
