The fifth edition of the International Building and Construction Exhibition, Libya Build 2008, was inaugurated in Tripoli last month. Separately to Libya Build, the Libyan Contracting Union Council also organised the First International Electric and Mechanical Engineering Exhibition, EMEX 2008. Over 300 companies of different nationalities took part in the two exhibitions, including six companies from Malta.

The participation of the Maltese companies at the two exhibitions was coordinated by Malta Enterprise with the assistance of the Malta Enterprise Libya Office. These companies included Advent Ltd, Andica, Capital Trading, Hal Mann, Vassallo Builders and Würth (Malta).

They exhibited a range of products related to the building materials and construction sectors. Malta Enterprise also had its own stand with varied information about trade and investment opportunities in Malta.
