Guyana's International Building Expo 2023 achieves resounding success amid showcase of innovation and collaboration

The Ministry of Housing and Water has once more orchestrated yet another successful International Building Exposition. Held at the National Stadium in Providence, the event showcased no less than 369 exhibitors, who displayed their innovative offerings and cutting-edge solutions at the forefront of architectural and construction marvels. Visitors were treated to a comprehensive spectrum of exhibits, encompassing an extensive range from ecologically sustainable building materials and energy-efficient technologies to commercial banks and security alternatives, among a myriad of other offerings. Collin Croal, the Minister of Housing and Water, observed that the execution of this exposition underscores the collaborative synergies and economic progress within the domains of housing and construction. Croal disclosed that during the inaugural night, almost 2000 individuals were attracted by construction enterprises and suppliers, surpassing the benchmarks set by the previous year. Moreover, the 'Dream Realised' campaign was conducted, culminating in the allocation of housing plots to approximately 2000 individuals. Among this group, a significant subset of 350 individuals effectively secured land titles and transfers, constituting a notable achievement within the context of the 600 total allotments that were accessible. Minister Susan Rodrigues, within the Ministry of Housing and Water, highlighted that the inclusion of 369 exhibition booths marks a rise of approximately 100 booths in comparison to the previous year's count. In August 2010, Guyana inaugurated its inaugural building exposition, with the primary objective of establishing connections between local enterprises and their counterparts from the broader regional and global landscapes.
