The Tunisian government, through the Centre de Promotion des Exportations (CEPEX), has sent five companies to participate in the 2026 International Construction Expo in Tripoli, Libya. The expo, which runs from November 8 to 11, aims to bring together companies from various countries to showcase their products and services in the construction sector. This participation is part of Tunisia's efforts to strengthen its presence in the Libyan market and promote its exports.
The five Tunisian companies specialize in various areas, including architecture, real estate promotion, industrial and tourist infrastructure, and the manufacture of construction materials such as plaster products, cement adhesives, electrical materials, and insulating materials. These companies will showcase their products and services in a 66m² pavilion, which was visited by Libyan Prime Minister Abdelhamid Dbeibah during the expo's opening ceremony.
The expo features 123 companies from several countries, including Italy, Egypt, Turkey, and Libya. The event's program includes conferences and workshops on the construction sector's developments and prospects, led by Libyan and international experts. This participation provides Tunisian companies with an opportunity to network with Libyan professionals and economic operators, identify new business opportunities, and promote their expertise.
The Libyan market represents a significant outlet for Tunisian companies due to its geographical proximity, complementary skills, and growing demand for construction materials, engineering services, and infrastructure works. The CEPEX's initiative aims to support Tunisian companies in accessing foreign markets and facilitating their contacts with local economic operators.
The Tunisian pavilion offers a platform for companies to showcase their products and services, highlighting their technical expertise and diversity of specialties. This presence enables Tunisian companies to promote their know-how, establish direct contacts with Libyan professionals, and explore new cooperation opportunities in construction, urban planning, and industrial and service infrastructure development.
The participation of Tunisian companies in the expo is facilitated by the CEPEX's office in Tripoli, under the supervision of the Tunisian Embassy in Libya. This initiative is part of the government's efforts to support Tunisian companies in their international expansion and provide them with the necessary tools to compete in foreign markets.
The 2026 International Construction Expo in Tripoli provides a valuable opportunity for Tunisian companies to tap into the growing Libyan market and establish partnerships with local companies. With its strategic location and growing demand for construction materials and services, Libya offers a promising market for Tunisian companies looking to expand their exports.
