Libya’s redevelopment process offers excellent prospects to leverage our expertise and contribute to the country's trade, infrastructural, and real estate sectors. We hope this exhibition will provide us further opportunities to network with industry majors and government officials to gain significant traction within the rapidly growing market.

“We have been in talks with Libyan officials, but due to the political climate in the region, it wasn't conducive to start new projects. We have now re-started negotiations with them and they are keen to benefit from our experience gained in developing DIP. Our senior managers are currently in Libya to take this synergy forward.”
