Aviation Morocco
Global Aviation Africa is MIE's aviation exhibition and summit for the African market, held in Casablanca. It is built around the fact that African aviation's constraint is not passenger demand but the supply side of it — fleet renewal, maintenance and repair capacity, ground handling, airport infrastructure, and the training and financing that keep aircraft flying. The show brings airlines, operators, airports, regulators and financiers together with the manufacturers, lessors and service providers who supply them. Morocco's own position as an aviation-manufacturing and MRO base, plus its centrality for travel between Africa and Europe, is what makes it the location. It is a business-to-business event: the audience comes to source and to partner.

Visit GAA 2027 Trade & Manufacturing Kenya
China Trade Week Kenya is the Kenyan edition of MIE's longest-running exhibition series, held in Nairobi and built on a single proposition: bring Chinese manufacturers face to face with East African importers, distributors and wholesalers. The product range is deliberately broad rather than sector-specific — machinery and equipment, building materials, consumer goods, electronics, automotive parts and textiles — because that is how the region's import trade actually works. For Chinese exporters it is a direct route to buyers without an intermediary; for East African importers it is a way to meet factories rather than traders. The series has run across Africa and the Middle East for over a decade, which is what gives it the buyer lists the individual editions rely on.

Visit CTW Kenya Real Estate & Property United States
APEX is MIE's United States property exhibition, held in Chicago — a market chosen for its central position, its deep commercial real-estate and infrastructure base, and its role as a gateway to the wider American market. It is built for the two sides of a property transaction that rarely meet in one place: developers, owners and operators on one side, and the international investors, capital providers and suppliers who want exposure to American real estate on the other. Exhibiting companies and the programme are published on the show's own site; the group's United States Business Intelligence Report, covering the investment climate and the property and infrastructure sectors, provides the market context behind it.
2-3 June 2027 Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA
Visit APEX 2027 Smart Buildings & Interiors United States
Smarter Homes and Furnishings is MIE's United States exhibition for the home — two markets that are usually shown separately and are combined here deliberately, because a house is specified as one project. It covers home automation, security and energy management alongside furniture, furnishings and interior finishes, and it is aimed at the people who make those specification decisions: builders and developers, interior designers and architects, retail buyers and distributors. It is held at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in the Chicago area, one of the largest concentrations of residential construction and interior trade in the United States. Exhibiting companies and the programme are published on the show's own site.

Visit SHF 2027 Construction & Infrastructure Ghana
Africa Build Show is MIE's construction and infrastructure exhibition for Ghana and the wider West African market, held in Accra. It brings building materials, plant and heavy equipment, fixtures, and construction technology under one roof, alongside the project owners, contractors and specifiers who choose what gets built with. The show runs in parallel with the group's energy and investment events at the same venue, so a visitor meets the construction supply chain and the buyers financing it in a single trip. It is built for manufacturers and suppliers looking for distribution in West Africa, and for contractors and developers sourcing internationally.
6-8 July 2027 The Palms Convention Center, Accra, Ghana
Visit Africa Build Show Power & Mobility Ghana
EV & Mobility Show Ghana is MIE's West African edition of its electric mobility portfolio, held in Accra. It covers the same full-system scope as the group's other EVS events — vehicles across passenger, commercial and two- and three-wheeler classes, charging and battery infrastructure, and the fleet, financing and policy questions behind adoption — applied to a market where both fuel import costs and urban air quality have put electrification on the government's agenda. The audience is fleet operators, importers, distributors and public-sector planners. It runs in parallel with the group's construction, investment and energy events at the same venue and dates, which means exhibitors and visitors reach several sectors of the Ghanaian market in one visit.

Visit EVS Ghana Investment & Trade Ghana
Ghana Investment and Trade Week is MIE's investment and trade summit, held in Accra. It is the group's most policy-facing event: rather than a product exhibition, it is built around investment promotion — government agencies and investment authorities presenting opportunities, project owners and developers looking for capital, and companies looking for local partners or entry routes into the Ghanaian and wider West African economy. Participation is by delegation, corporate and institution, and it is used by organisations that need to understand a market and meet its decision-makers before committing. It runs alongside the group's construction, energy and electric mobility events at the same venue and dates. Market context is published in the group's own Ghana Business Intelligence reporting.

Visit GITW 2027 Power & Mobility Ghana
Megawatt Africa is MIE's power and energy exhibition for Ghana and the wider West African market, held in Accra. It covers the generation, transmission and distribution side of the sector rather than consumer equipment: conventional and renewable generation, grid and substation technology, energy storage, metering, and the engineering and contracting services that install them. West Africa's recurring constraint is dependable supply, and the response — new capacity, grid reinforcement and industrial self-generation — is what creates the purchasing. The audience is utilities, regulators, industrial energy managers, project developers and EPC contractors. It runs alongside the group's construction, investment and electric mobility events at the same venue and dates, so the energy and built-environment buyers are in one place.

Africa Technology Show is MIE's technology exhibition for the Kenyan market, held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre in Nairobi. It covers the equipment and systems that businesses buy when they digitise and industrialise — information and communications technology, industrial and automation technology, electronics and consumer technology — and it is aimed at the resellers, integrators and enterprise buyers who make those purchasing decisions in East Africa. Nairobi's position as the region's technology and startup hub is the reason for the location: a supplier based there reaches Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and beyond from one market. It sits alongside the group's food, trade and electric mobility events, and it is best suited to suppliers seeking distribution partners rather than end consumers.

Visit AFTS Kenya Food & Agriculture Kenya
Africa Food Show Kenya is MIE's food, agriculture and beverage exhibition for East Africa, held in Nairobi and now in its fifth edition. It spans the value chain rather than one end of it — ingredients and raw materials, processing and packaging machinery, cold chain and logistics, and finished food and beverage products — and it is where regional buyers, distributors, processors and hospitality buyers meet international suppliers. Kenya is East Africa's largest food-processing economy and a natural distribution hub for the surrounding region, which is why the show is used as a market-entry point rather than only a sales floor. The show is supported by the group's own Business Intelligence reporting on Kenyan agriculture and food markets.

Visit AFS Kenya 2027 Trade & Manufacturing United Arab Emirates
CTW Global is MIE's flagship edition of the China Trade Week series, held in Dubai — a deliberate change of format from the country editions, because Dubai is where the region's trade is brokered rather than consumed. It gathers manufacturers and exporters with the distributors, trading houses, procurement teams and investors who move goods across the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The product range follows the series: machinery and equipment, building materials, consumer goods, electronics, automotive parts and textiles. Held at Atlantis The Palm, it is the group's most internationally mixed event, and the one most used by companies deciding which of the individual country editions to enter first. Buyers across the Gulf, Africa and South Asia attend from one location.
