Prime Minister Abdel Hamid Aldabaiba inaugurated the ninth edition of the Libya Construction Exhibition (Tripoli 8-11 November) yesterday.

Organized by the state implementation agency, the Organisation for the Development of Administrative Centres (ODAC) in conjunction with organised by ADD Events, the event features 123 companies from Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Italy, China, and Turkey, and is attended by several government ministers and the Secretary-General of the Cabinet Office.

Aldabaiba underscored the importance of the construction sector in supporting development and driving the national economy. He highlighted the government’s focus on this sector—as part of the “Return to Life” initiative, which encompasses various infrastructure and public facility development projects—and noted Libya’s openness to international companies and investments, as well as its commitment to expanding cooperation and leveraging modern expertise and technologies.

The Prime Minister toured the exhibition pavilions, where he examined the offerings of local and international firms, including products, technologies, and solutions for the construction and building materials industry, while learning about the companies’ key activities and areas of operation.

For his part, Minister of Economy and Trade Suhail Abushiha emphasized the construction sector’s vital role in stimulating the national economy, supporting commercial and industrial activity, and enhancing investment opportunities—all of which contribute to economic diversification and greater private sector participation.

The exhibition will run for four days, providing a platform for companies and institutions within the sector to network, showcase the latest products and technologies, and explore potential opportunities for collaboration and investment.
