West Africa Infrastructure Expo 2026: driving growth, connectivity, and sustainable development

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.

Showcasing Landmark Projects

  • Lagos-Calabar Coastal Railway
  • Trans-Guinea Railway
  • Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway
  • Escravos Seaport Industrial Complex
  • Africa Data Centre Accra

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

The exhibition will unite professionals from across the construction and infrastructure value chain:

  • Government officials and policy makers
  • Project owners and developers
  • Contractors and consultants
  • Technology providers and suppliers
  • Investors and financial institutions

Through conferences, product showcases, and networking opportunities, West Africa Infrastructure Expo will enable knowledge-sharing and partnerships that accelerate sustainable growth.

Sustainable Development at the Core
