About The Big 5 Construct Egypt

Connecting the construction industry in Egypt

The Big 5 Construct Egypt is the most important gathering for the global construction and infrastructure community in Egypt. It was the only international construction event to take place in Egypt in 2021. Launched in 2018, the event runs under the patronage of His Excellency Dr. Moustafa Madbouly, Prime Minister of the Arab Republic of Egypt, and is the only construction show endorsed by the Egyptian Ministry of Housing, Utilities and Urban Communities.

For three consecutive days at the Egypt International Exhibition Center (EIEC) we connect suppliers with quality buyers from across Africa, promoting innovation, sharing cutting edge knowledge and accelerating business.

With the introduction of new value-added features such as The Big 5 Egypt Impact Awards, The Big 5 Egypt Leadership Conference and CPD certified talks, we boost the industry’s recovery efforts in a safe and convenient environment.

Developed for the industry by listening to key stakeholders through our esteemed Advisory Committee, The Big 5 Construct Egypt brings The Big 5 brand’s 40+ years’ experience and success to Egypt’s government-led multibillion dollar construction and infrastructure projects market.
