Among the novelties of the show, the presence of a pavilion dedicated entirely to Africa, of which the sub-Saharan region is the international partner of this edition. There will be 200 companies from 14 countries: Angola, Benin, Congo, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Mozambique, Namibia, Senegal, Somalia, Sudan, Uganda, Tanzania and Zambia. Africa is playing an increasingly central role on the international scene (economic and demographic), so that growth forecasts indicate + 5% of annual GDP, and that it should reach 5% of global GDP by 2030.

 

 

 

The show will welcome for the first time Cuba with 5 companies, Proecuador with 8 major companies, the Mexican state of Zacatecas with 6 companies. Strong participation also from Eastern European companies and major importers from the Persian Gulf (Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar), India and Southeast Asia.
