State-Supported Fair for a Strategic Sector

The Construction Fair - Turkeybuild Istanbul, the only fair in Turkey's building sector to benefit from state incentive opportunities over the past 4 years, will enable its participants to benefit from a 50 percent support from the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Commerce in their promotional activity expenses this year as well. Kemal Ülgen, Regional Director of Hyve Group, speaking of the Construction Fair - Turkeybuild Istanbul as an international platform that reflects the nation's construction and building materials sector, recalled that the sector demonstrated the achievement of being among the world's 5 largest construction fairs and hosted 68,738 visitors and more than 550 participating companies last year. Stating that the fair will create dynamism for the construction and building materials sector this year as well, Ülgen said: "The heart of the construction industry will beat at the Construction Fair - Turkeybuild Istanbul. For companies that want to gather with thousands of domestic and international professional visitors and buyers, increase their exports and meet potential customers, this year we will be the sector's most productive platform, as always."

Strong Interest from Foreign Participants

The fair, which will open its doors on 18 April, is attracting particular interest from Asia, Latin America and Eastern European countries. Germany and Qatar will participate with one pavilion each, totaling over 50 companies. Additionally, many countries including Italy, India, South Korea, Poland, Uruguay, Taiwan, Romania and the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus will exhibit new product and service technologies at the fair.

Agile Transformation Period in the Construction Sector

The Construction Fair, where the roadmap for sustainable growth in construction will also be discussed, is preparing to welcome visitors with a rich panel program as it does every year. The fair features two important thought platforms where sectoral assessments and developments will be discussed by expert speakers. These areas, created in collaboration with Change Architect - Innovative Management Consulting, will provide participants with information about the sector's agenda. In the Building Arena, one of these areas, agile management approaches with successful examples among designer and contractor groups in the construction sector worldwide and in Turkey will be discussed in a panel titled "The Secret to Sustainable Growth in the Building Sector: 'Agile Transformation' in Discussion." Agile management approaches based on adaptation to changing conditions and sustainable success are rapidly gaining traction globally, including in the construction sector.

Traditional Construction Approach Changing Completely with Startups!

In the Yapıtech Garage, a project jointly developed with Change Architect brings startups (technology ventures) together with the construction sector. Startups will be ready to present approaches to architects, engineers, planners, manufacturers, contractors, developers, marketers and end-users from the design phase through to building handover that will fundamentally transform the sector's traditional business practices. The Construction Fair - Turkeybuild Istanbul will provide a productive platform to support sector strategy, enable knowledge exchange, encourage innovation, and foster interaction among the public sector, private sector and academic dimensions of the building sector to generate new ideas.
