In the heart of Africa's rising economic star, Rwanda, lies a transformative event set to redefine the landscape of the construction industry—Project Africa – Rwanda 2024. Scheduled from August 20 to 22, 2024, at the iconic Kigali Convention Centre, this international trade exhibition is poised to be a catalyst for innovation, collaboration, and sustainable development.


Rwanda's economic trajectory has been nothing short of remarkable, with consistent annual growth rates exceeding 7% for the past two decades. The country's GDP surged by 9.2% in early 2023, following an impressive 8.2% in 2022. Such robust growth underscores Rwanda's stability, favorable business environment, and attractiveness to global investors. In 2022 alone, Rwanda attracted $1.6 billion in investments, a testament to its emergence as a key player in the region's economic landscape.

Strategically positioned within the East African Community, Rwanda serves as a pivotal hub for trade and logistics. Project Africa – Rwanda 2024 capitalizes on this strategic advantage, offering international exhibitors unparalleled access to Rwanda's burgeoning construction market and neighboring regions. This event not only showcases the latest in construction materials and equipment but also facilitates crucial connections that drive cross-border collaborations and business expansion.

At its core, Project Africa – Rwanda 2024 is a celebration of innovation and excellence in construction. Exhibitors from around the globe will unveil cutting-edge technologies, sustainable building solutions, and state-of-the-art equipment designed to meet the evolving demands of Rwanda's infrastructure boom. The exhibition floor will buzz with demonstrations, interactive workshops, and insightful seminars, offering attendees a comprehensive platform to explore new products, exchange ideas, and forge strategic partnerships.

Beyond economic growth, sustainability lies at the heart of Rwanda's development agenda. Project Africa – Rwanda 2024 champions this ethos by spotlighting eco-friendly construction practices, renewable energy solutions, and circular economy initiatives. Attendees can expect a robust program focused on sustainability, where industry leaders and policymakers converge to discuss strategies for building a greener, more resilient future.

As Rwanda continues to invest in infrastructure and urban development, Project Africa – Rwanda 2024 emerges as a pivotal event that empowers local enterprises, fosters innovation, and drives economic diversification. By nurturing a vibrant ecosystem of collaboration and knowledge exchange, the exhibition sets the stage for transformative growth in Rwanda's construction sector, paving the way for sustainable development and inclusive prosperity.
