They receive visitors from across East Africa,
and trade visitors are invited directly and in
collaboration with regional trade bodies in
Kenya, Tanzania, Ethiopia, Uganda, Somalia,
Mozambique and Congo. Kenya is certainly one
of the biggest markets in Africa, yet Buildexpo
also lays strong emphasis on attracting traders
and importers from neighbouring countries.
Coatings for Africa sets out to drive
innovation and education in line with the
changing face of Africa’s growing paint and
coatings industries. The African coatings
industry remains key to supporting the
continent’s ever-growing development
requirements. The future for the paint and
coatings sector looks particularly promising,
given the strong economic outlook, long-term
demographic growth and rising urbanisation
across Sub-Saharan Africa. The Technical
Symposium takes place on Monday 11 May
2015 from 9am to 5pm and features an
opening address from HE Blade Nzimande,
Minister of Higher Education and Training
and a Keynote address from Anthony
Lawrence, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan
in South Africa. For further details about the
event please visit the website:
