The event which will end on August 21 was inaugurated at Tehran permanent international fairground by Transport and Urban Development Minister Farzaneh Sadeq and Head of the Iran Chamber of Cooperatives Bahman Abdollahi.
All exhibition space has been filled, covering 47,000 square meters, including 42,000 square meters outdoors for heavy machinery and equipment. For the first time, special halls were dedicated to start-ups and new firms.
Companies and visitors from Singapore, Italy, Germany, Turkey and China are attending this year’s exhibition, providing what organizers described as opportunities to expand trade and technical cooperation.
Organizers said the exhibition, hosted by the Iran Chamber of Cooperatives, offers a platform to showcase domestic capabilities, strengthen non-oil exports and promote innovation in building technologies. They described it as one of the region’s largest and most specialized construction fairs.
Abdollahi said the construction sector is a “driving force” in Iran’s economy due to its links with more than 130 other industries, adding that Iran ranks as the world’s fourth-largest exporter of tiles and ceramics and has an annual export capacity of more than one million tons of steel structures, potentially generating $2.5 billion a year.
He noted that Iran’s overall capacity for exporting technical and engineering services exceeds $40 billion annually, of which $15 billion relates to construction. However, he said actual exports in 2022 and 2023 were only around $2 billion in this field.
