Doha - Mubasher: Project Qatar will hold the 14th International Trade Exhibition for Construction Technology, Building Materials, Equipment and Environmental Technology from 8 to 11 May 2017 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC).

“The country is seen heading towards a major construction boom as mega-infrastructure projects get underway such as underground railways and several stadiums, as well as a substantial number of industrial and private buildings for the upcoming FIFA 2022 World Cup,” a press release stated on Wednesday.

Project Qatar 2017 will provide a platform for exhibitors to showcase the latest construction equipment and services, deepen their market presence, and build new business relations with companies of all sizes.

The statement added that Qatar is considered the fastest-growing construction market in the GCC region, with the sector expected to account for 45% of the country’s investments between 2015 and 2018.

In accordance with Qatar Vision 2030, the country has earmarked QAR 46 billion in investments for 2017 and industry analysts expect the market to peak within the first half of the year.

“The extraordinary growth of Project Qatar year after year is testament to the scale of infrastructure development that has been going on in the country since 2004,” general manager at IFP Qatar George Ayache said.
