The exhibitions will serve as a crucial platform for government officials, investors, and industry leaders to converge and address key challenges in urban development, power supply, water management, and digital connectivity. With an estimated value of $668 billion, the region’s infrastructure market is drawing significant interest from global investors looking for high-growth opportunities.
Focus on Infrastructure and Climate Solutions
According to dmg events President Matt Denton, the new shows are designed to address the dual challenges of rapid urbanization and climate change in West Africa. The West Africa Infrastructure Expo will feature a series of high-level discussions on major regional projects, including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Railway, the Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway, and the Africa Data Centre in Accra.
The event aligns directly with Nigeria’s ambitious National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan, which seeks to boost the nation’s infrastructure stock to 70% of its GDP by 2043. The exhibition aims to support this goal by fostering partnerships and highlighting the potential for large-scale investment.
Running concurrently, the HVACR Nigeria exhibition will focus on the rising demand for energy-efficient heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration technologies. The country's HVACR sector is projected to see significant growth, with a compound annual rate of 8.78% between 2025 and 2029, according to Statista Market Insights. This event will provide a space for international technology providers and local businesses to collaborate and meet the market's evolving needs for improved air quality and performance.
By bringing together these two interconnected events, dmg events hopes to create a synergy that drives both economic development and climate-conscious solutions across the region.
