The 2024 edition of the the Africa Infrastructure and Built Environment Confex (AfriConfex) will take place in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe from 06 – 08 November 2024. The event is set to be Zimbabwe’s biggest gathering of buyers and sellers covering the entire built environment value chain. It is influenced by the government’s national vision to achieve a middle-class economy by 2030; and its consequent infrastructure development drive.

The confex provides the platform for distinctive opportunities for knowledge exchange, business expansion, networking, and learning. Additionally, as indigenous contractors seek to venture into regional and international markets, AfriConfex provides dynamic, hands-on moments to stay ahead of trends, opportunities, and risks such as technology trends, international labour markets, and new legal backgrounds and regulations.

With a focus on economic development through construction and infrastructure, AfriConfex 2024 will be held under the theme “Resilient Cities, Thriving Africa: Building Sustainable Infrastructure for Economic Growth.”

The theme highlights the critical need for sustainable and resilient infrastructure in African cities to promote economic development. With the African population projected to double by 2050, there is an urgent need to invest in infrastructure projects that can support sustainable economic growth for African countries.

By bringing together key stakeholders to deliberate on key trends and critical insights into African construction and infrastructure value chains, along with key drivers, restraints, and growth opportunities, AfriConfex plays a pivotal indirect role in attaining these continental aspirations. The 2024 edition will feature an exciting exhibition and immersive conference programme.
