Lagos, Nigeria, 7 – 9 April 2026 – The West Africa Infrastructure Expo is set to become the region’s most influential platform for infrastructure and urban development. Organized by dmg events, the exhibition will bring together governments, investors, contractors, and technology providers to accelerate infrastructure growth across West Africa’s $668 billion market opportunity.

Why West Africa Infrastructure Expo Matters

West Africa is experiencing rapid urbanization, with population growth driving the demand for modern roads, railways, ports, power, and water infrastructure. The West Africa Infrastructure Expo will serve as a catalyst for investment and collaboration, connecting international expertise with local needs.

The event aligns with Nigeria’s National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan, which targets raising infrastructure stock to 70% of GDP by 2043. From smart cities and digital infrastructure to waste management and renewable power, the exhibition will highlight solutions that directly contribute to regional development priorities.

  • Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway
  • Escravos Seaport Industrial Complex

By showcasing opportunities across transport, energy, water, and communications, the event will attract stakeholders committed to building stronger, smarter, and more connected cities.

A Hub for Innovation and Collaboration

  • Government officials and policy makers
  • Project owners and developers
