‘More than a trade show’- Building Expo 2025 to be the ‘most transformative’, will feature over 350 booths

With a focus on crafting sustainable communities integrated with digital infrastructure and presenting opportunities across all sectors, Guyana’s largest exposition, Building Expo 2025, is promised to be the “most transformative”.

This year, the expo will run from August 14 to 17 and is expected to attract hundreds of thousands of visitors, both local and international.

It will feature a total of 373 booths, 268 of which have already been reserved.

Building Expo 2025 is being held under the theme “The Road to Success: Guyana 2030 and Beyond.”

Speaking at a media launch on Tuesday, Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, said the theme captures the collective mission to not only build physical infrastructure, but to craft a future that is inclusive, resilient, innovative, and sustainable.

“This year’s expo will be the largest, most inclusive, and most transformative edition yet.

“It will be a dynamic platform where ideas and opportunities intersect… It will be a space where cutting-edge technology meets traditional craftsmanship, where global best practices merge with local innovation, and where dreams of better living become tangible realities,” Croal said.

In urging members of the diaspora to utilise the opportunity to reinvest and return to Guyana, Croal said Building Expo 2025 is “more than a trade show”.

“It is a National Event. A celebration of Guyanese ingenuity, resourcefulness, and unity. It is a platform to showcase local manufacturers and service providers, to foster meaningful partnerships between government and private enterprise, and to attract investment from across the globe,” he said.

At this year’s expo, a 3D replica of Guyana’s first sustainable and resilient city, Silica City, will also be on display. House lots will be allocated through the Dream Realised initiative, and land titles will be distributed.

According to Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water, Susan Rodrigues, the International Building Expo remains a household name.

“The international building expo is renowned for providing a platform for entrepreneurs, to launch new businesses, to expand existing businesses and services and offer a unique network among industry platform.

“You will see an exhibition of the growth and success of all of the sectors,” Rodrigues said.

Building Expo 2025 will be held at the Guyana National Stadium.
