Africa’s leading platform where concrete innovation transforms research into practice

24 February 2016

This year the Totally Concrete Expo provides a unique gateway into doing construction business across the continent’s high growth and high risk markets. The subcontinent requires 40 million tonnes of new cement capacity alone in order to meet rising urbanisation and growth rates with the region’s population forecast to grow from 1.1 billion people in 2013 to 2.4 billion by 2050. Both industry titans and new entrants into the local marketplace find value in the Totally Concrete Expo experience because the platform provides an outlet for construction business development alongside practical insight into managing daily operations in the African context.
