The Big 5 Expedition - Construction in the Middle East

The largest trade show for the Construction industry in the Arabian Gulf. A unique event, combining five major exhibitions under one roof. Featuring around 2,000 companies from 50 countries.

The most comprehensive event of the year for contractors and specifiers, architects, engineers and buyers throughout the GCC countries. The Big 5 is the annual meeting place for all industry professionals. Approaching 34,000 key buyers and decision-makers from the public and private sector attended the 2005 event, as well as architects, engineers, contractors and other specifiers.

One of the most commercially successful trade fairs in Dubai, The Big 5 features National Pavilions from all major exporting countries in East and West, alongside the important local developers, contractors, importers and distributors.

  • The Building and Construction section the largest event for suppliers of systems, components, materials, fittings and services, to the GCC's buoyant building sector. This is the main component of The Big 5 Show and grows every year.

  • The Water Technology section is the only specialist event of its kind in the Middle East. Over the next 25 years, the UAE alone will spend over 7 billion dollars to develop its water resources. Desalination provides for 80% of requirements here, and a series of new plants are coming into operation throughout the Emirates.

  • In the Middle East, no building is complete without Air Conditioning, and with systems operating around the clock, there is a continuous requirement for replacement, renovation and maintenance.

  • Cleaning and Maintenance is a fast growing sector in an area characterised by extremes of heat, humidity and direct sunlight, and there are excellent opportunities for suppliers of technology associated with repair and restoration.

  • Prospects for the Glass & Metal sector in the Gulf are excellent. Massive public and private sector investments offer business potential for suppliers of top-of-the-range and custom-built glass and metal fixtures and fittings from inside the region and overseas.

  • The Gulf region is brimming with opportunities for manufacturers and suppliers in the Bathrooms & Ceramics sector too. The Big 5 Show means big business. Take part in the success of The Big 5 Show in 2006, use the Exhibiting, Visiting or Press link above for more information... Read More...
