About the expo
January 27-30, 2027
Tripoli International Fair
A business platform that brings Egyptian manufacturers and suppliers together with Libyan importers, distributors, contractors, and related companies.
The Libyan Businessmen Council welcomes Egyptian companies taking part in the Egyptian Construction and Industries Exhibition in Libya. The event comes as trade, projects, and economic activity widen in the Libyan market — opening more room for supply, distribution, manufacturing, and partnerships between the private sectors of both countries.
Through its member network and the Libyan-Egyptian Business Council, the Council will support contact between exhibitors and their counterparts in Libya, arrange business meetings, connect companies with relevant commercial parties, and follow up on cooperation that starts at the expo.
