Under the theme "The Pathway to Success: Guyana 2030 and Beyond," the International Building Expo 2025 is taking place from Thursday to Sunday at the National Stadium in Providence, on the banks of the Demerara River, a few kilometers from Georgetown. The event features nearly 400 booths representing the same number of companies.
The expo, considered "the largest, most inclusive and transformative construction exhibition to date," according to Housing and Water Minister Collin Croal, is more than just a showcase; it's the beginning of a national dialogue about the country's future.
"This is the largest, most inclusive, and transformative international construction exhibition to date held in the country and its main objective is to invest in people, especially in preparing the next generation of architects, planners, technicians, and innovators who will confidently guide Guyana towards 2030 and beyond," Croal emphasized.
During the four days of the event, attendees can learn how to use local materials to create practical, attractive, and sustainable spaces, as well as view traditional handicrafts, wood carvings, and jewelry, and exchange ideas with tour operators about their experiences in the country.
The exhibition also offers the public essential services from the Ministry of Housing and Water, including land allocation. It is expected that an additional 2,000 property titles will be distributed this year to beneficiaries throughout Guyana.
Of significant importance to the country is the fact that the expo has contributed to promoting the transition to green building practices, introduced prefabricated houses made with recycled materials, and demonstrated the possibilities of 3D printing in housing.
Furthermore, it has facilitated trade with partners as far away as Ghana, which acquired 120 homes from Guyana, and served as a launch platform for the ambitious urban initiative "Silicon City," a sustainable, low-carbon, and climate-resilient city of the future.
