The 5th annual Construction, Power & Mining trade exhibition will take place at Myanmar Event Park (MEP) in Yangon in October 2017

The 5th annual Con­struction, Power & Mining Myanmar will be held on October 12-14 at MEP at Min­dama, Yangon.

The trade exhibition will focus on Building & Con­struction, Electrical Pow­er & Renewable Energy and Mining & Minerals Recovery.

Myanmar is the fourth fastest-growing economy in ASEAN and despite nu­merous domestic armed conflicts, an inviting des­tination for business op­portunities. Three of the most attractive sectors for investment are construc­tion, energy, and mining.

“Construction, Power & Mining Myanmar 2017 helps add value to Myan­mar’s economy and in­dustries by bringing an international industry fo­cused trade exhibition to Myanmar,” Fraser Haw­kas, General Manager of UBM Myanmar, said.

The construction sector, especially the develop­ment of infrastructure, is primed for investment as initiatives to revitalize the nation’s dilapidated infra­structure sit high on the new NLD government’s docket of issues to address.

Similarly, electricity, power management, and distribution is a highly demanded industry as Myanmar has one of the lowest rates of electrifica­tion in Asia and the gov­ernment is actively trying to remedy this.

Finally, mining is the third largest recipient of FDI despite often being directly linked to corrup­tion, conflict, and human rights abuses. Myan­mar’s diverse and largely untapped geological re­sources, if managed ethi­cally, de-monopolized, and taxed, could make a significant contribution to the country’s economic development.

“This event will help Myanmar’s businesspeo­ple and entrepreneurs build business connec­tions and learn more about the industry in which they work,” U Aye Tun, Vice Chairman of Myanmar Industrial As­sociation, said.

Last year’s event includ­ed 3 international trade exhibitions, Building & Construction, Electric Power & Renewable En­ergy Myanmar, and Min­ing Myanmar.

This year event aims to attract over 180 compa­nies from 16 countries as well as 6 international pa­vilions from China, Ger­many, India, Korea, Sin­gapore, and Thailand.

The exhibition is free to attend for trade profes­sionals and visitors.
