The Intermat exhibition in April next year will hold an African Summit on the Thursday of the show to highlight the continent’s construction activity and prospects.

The conference will be on Thursday 22 April and is designed to position the exhibition as a platform for cooperation between industry players, public decision-makers and African institutions. The Paris show runs from 21 to 24 April.

“Participants will gain a concrete and in-depth understanding of the dynamics of the construction market in Africa through sector analyses, feedback from experience, and testimonials from key stakeholders”, said Intermat.
