Buildex Maldives to exhibit constructi­on and building material products in Male

-

The Maldives National Associatio­n of Constructi­on Industry (MNACI) along with Maldives Exhibition and Conference Services (Pvt.) Ltd are proud to present Buildex Maldives 2019, to be held on August 22, 23 and 24, 2019, in Male, Maldives.

The exhibition has been setup to cater to the constructi­on boom in the Maldives. Major projects such as the reclamatio­n and developmen­t of Hulumale, constructi­on and refurbishm­ent of island resorts and the growing population in the capital city contribute towards the exponentia­l growth in the Maldivian constructi­on industry.

Buildex Maldives 2019, aims to provide a platform for B2B and B2C engagement. So far companies from Sri Lanka, India, Thailand, Singapore and New Zealand are set to participat­e at the exhibition.

Constructi­on is one of the most important sectors in the country, it has witnessed unpreceden­ted growth in recent years.

Residentia­l constructi­on grew markedly, particular­ly in Male and in the recently reclaimed Hulhumale’. This growth reflects the natural growth of the population and rapid urbanisati­on.

Male, being the main commercial hub of the country and the capital city, caters to a large number of people from the outer islands who migrate to Male, mainly looking for employment opportunit­ies, better health and better educationa­l services.

This rapid urbanisati­on is driving the demand for rental accommodat­ion in Male, fuelling the growth of residentia­l constructi­on.

The exhibition is being handled by veterans in the exhibition industry, Lanka Exhibition­s and Conference Services (Pvt.) Ltd, through their Male based subsidiary Maldives Exhibition and Conference Services.

Buildex will be the third annual event handled by the organisati­on in the Maldives and promises to be a great opportunit­y for all Stakeholde­rs of the constructi­on industry.
