Addtime:2009-10-19 |
Saudi Build/Stone 2009, the biggest
business-to-business construction and stone technology event in the
region, has concluded its 4-day run at the Riyadh International
Exhibition Centre, one of the region's most advanced exhibition
facilities, setting a new record in participation. More than 18,000
visitors, including high-profile business leaders and government
officials from Saudi Arabia and around the world, and over 650
exhibitors from 38 countries attended Saudi Build/Stone 2009,
reflecting the strong growth of the local market and reaffirming the
increasing global interest in the business potential of Saudi Arabia.
Mohammed Al Hussaini, Deputy GM, Riyadh
Exhibitions Company, Organizers of Saudi Build/Stone, said, "The
exceptionally high number of visitors and exhibitors has been a
positive indication of the gradual resurgence of the region's
construction sector in the wake of the global economic downturn. It
also underlined the important role of Saudi Arabia as a catalyst for
growth, being home to some of the largest and most important
construction and real estate projects in the region."
The trade event and exhibition also hosted
national pavilions representing Australia, Austria, Brazil, China,
Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Indonesia, Iran, Italy, Portugal,
Turkey, UAE, UK and a large group of local specialized companies. The
total participation eclipsed last year's record by 50 per cent, which
has raised the profile of Saudi Build/Stone 2009 as a premier
networking platform for all key players in the region's construction
and stone markets. |
