The Build4U Building Technologies and Materials Fair being held in Antalya, the capital of tourism, offers different advantages to participating companies and professional visitors from the sector. Participating companies can easily reach their target visitor group at the fair, while visitors contribute significantly to the development of national and international trade by engaging with companies showcasing their products from various points in Turkey and around the world. Located in one of the most desirable locations in the Mediterranean region, Antalya provides a significant advantage to participating companies in opening up to neighboring country markets, thanks to the Build4U Building Technologies and Materials Fair.

Antalya, selected as a pilot city under the ‘Green and Future Cities Project’ prepared in cooperation with the World Bank and the Municipalities Bank, holds a model position in the fight against climate change. The city, which has implemented Turkey’s largest “Smart Urban Transformation” project, aims to increase energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources with the Matchup project, the first application of the ecological smart city vision. All these developments position Antalya as a strategic region for businesses from all over the world, especially neighboring countries.
