The Expo Centre Sharjah invited Kenya’s public exhibition sector and representatives of the Kenyan private sector to take part in the 16th edition of the steel and metal industry exhibition “SteelFab”, which will be held earlier in 2020.

This came during the Centre’s participation in the SCCI’s fifth trade mission to Kenya and Uganda which was kicked off on Monday in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi.

During the exhibition accompanying the UAE – Kenya Trade and Investment Forum, the Expo Centre shed light on the Centre’s vital role, its importance and its strategic location at the regional and international levels, highlighting the most important economic, cultural and tourism events being organized and hosted annually, most notably Steel Fab, which brings together an elite of international manufacturers and suppliers, who showcase innovations for more than 1000 brands in the metal and steel industry.

The Centre’s delegation, led by Sultan Shattaf, Director of Business Development & Marketing, Expo Centre Sharjah, discussed the mutual investment prospects and benefit from the facilities and services provided by Expo Sharjah for exhibitors, investors and visitors, and the possibility of exchanging experiences, in addition to enhancing the participation of Kenyan institutions, investors, businessmen and visitors in the exhibitions held at the Centre.

“During our meetings with Kenyan officials, we stressed the importance of Expo Sharjah for Kenyan companies wishing to promote their products and services and enhance their presence in the UAE, Gulf, and Middle East markets,” said Sultan Shattaf.

The Kenyan metal and steel companies expressed their full readiness to participate in the 16th edition of the exhibition and to take advantage of the facilities and services provided to exhibitors and investors, which made it a prominent place on the map of the regional and international exhibition industry.”
