Qatar to host stadium construction expo in June
Qatar will host the inaugural International Stadium Construction Expo (QISC) this June.
The event will act as a meeting point for companies and organisations looking to bid for projects in the region – such as those relating to the FIFA 2022 World Cup and the Qatari government’s wider Vision 2030 programme of investment.
Organised by Pavilion Exhibitions & Conferences (PEC), QISC will take place from 7 to 10 June 2015.
Issa Mohamed Mubarak Al Darwish, chair of PEC, said: “The idea behind the exhibition stemmed from a desire to contribute to the accomplishment of Qatar National Vision 2030 in all fields, including sport, as Qatar becomes a key Middle Eastern destination for major events leading to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
“We are currently processing bookings from 18 different countries and the number of international firms participating might reach 100.”
al-Darwish added that companies attending will cover a number of sectors – including construction, sustainability and stadium technology.
