Experts and specialists in the construction field from the UAE, Finland, Italy, Cyprus, South Africa, Germany, Netherlands, and Turkey are set to take part in the event to share their expertise on the 3D printing techniques, efficiency of concrete products, low energy consumption materials, manufacture and repair of concrete buildings, and environmental impacts on concrete and precast, especially hot and harsh environments.

Saif Mohamed Al Midfa, CEO of the Expo Centre Sharjah, said: “The ICCX Middle East 2019 is a prominent platform that brings together the local and international technical expertise in building and construction field. It also covers important topics for concrete manufacturers and all concerned parties with the ready-mix concrete industry in the region.”
“In addition, the exhibition plays a key role in attracting the foreign investments operating in the construction field, which is regarded as the largest and fastest-growing sector in Sharjah, thanks to its great potential in terms of sophisticated infrastructure, workforce, and primary materials.
“This year’s edition is attracting companies specialising in the construction of modern buildings from all over the world and hosting experts in the construction technology, high-performance concrete, and prefabricated buildings.
“Also, this edition is paying particular attention to the construction 3D printing technology, as part of the Expo Centre’s endeavours to bolster the Emirate of Sharjah's efforts to become a regional hub for all 3D printing-associated technologies, pursuant to the UAE’s 2050 plan to convert about 25 per cent of buildings into 3D-printed ones,” Al Midfa concluded.
The International Concrete Conference & Exhibition is expected to attract a large number of manufacturers, suppliers, and investors from all over the world to enhance their presence in the regional markets and to maintain their prominent position in the competitive market, in light of the increased number of building and construction projects in the region with investments up to $316 billion between 2019 – 2021 in GCC countries. – TradeArabia News Service
