The latest in Green building technologies as well as quality and interior finishings are some of the key features at the fourth edition of BuildTech Yangon, Myanmar’s leading trade exhibition platform serving the fast-growing construction and development sector.
To be held at the Myanmar Convention Centre from 18 to 20 May 2017, this trade show will bring together 4,000 visitors and 80 exhibiting brands from across the world in an expansive 10,000-square-metre space.
Organised by Sphere Exhibits, a subsidiary of Singapore Press Holdings (SPH), and co-organised by the Myanmar Construction Entrepreneurs Association (MCEA), leading companies from China, India, Italy, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand will showcase the latest equipment, machinery and solutions in a wide selection of exhibits catering to the construction, machinery, building materials and mechanical engineering segments.
“Myanmar’s construction industry is forecasted to grow at an annual average rate of 10.37 percent over the next five years, with a total worth of US$13.5 billion by 2020,” says U Tha Htay, President of the MCEA. “This presents a tremendous opportunity for companies looking to participate in Myanmar’s growth, and BuildTech Yangon 2017 provides an ideal platform in Yangon where international firms can meet the important decision-makers driving Myanmar’s building boom.”
This year will also see the launch of the inaugural Green Building Conference, which will bring together keynote speakers and thought leaders, such as Tai Lee Siang, Chair of the World Green Building Council, as well as subject matter experts from Myanmar and around the world.
A special brick-laying competition will be introduced to the trade floor. This project is open to construction companies and will showcase a live assembly of a set prototype of a model building.
MCEA will also be hosting its annual Gala on the 19 May, where a select group of delegates and luminaries of the construction sector will come together to network and celebrate the achievements of their peers in the 3rd Construction Entrepreneur Awards. Four main awards, namely Best Contractor Awards, Best Project Awards, Individual Awards, Builder of the Year Awards will be jointly awarded by Sphere Exhibits and MCEA.
