RAKEZ to spotlight UAE construction-driven investment opportunities at Buildexpo Kenya 2025

Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone (RAKEZ), a powerhouse for global business and industrial growth, is set to participate in Buildexpo Kenya 2025, taking place from 16 to 18 July at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi. The event will serve as a strategic platform for RAKEZ to engage with East Africa’s rapidly growing construction and infrastructure sectors.

Ras Al Khaimah Economic Zone is home to over 30,000 diverse global businesses

With construction activity accelerating across the UAE and the wider region, demand for high-quality building materials, advanced logistics, and efficient production facilities is on the rise. Ras Al Khaimah, in particular, is emerging as a key player in regional development, with landmark projects such as the Wynn Resort and the Etihad Rail network drawing international interest. The emirate is currently advancing more than 1,000 active developments, collectively valued in the tens of billions of dollars. Its strategic location, offering seamless connectivity to global trade routes via world-class ports, further enhances its appeal to companies operating across the construction supply chain.

The UAE construction market continues to experience robust growth, driven by nationwide infrastructure and urban development initiatives. This upward trend reinforces the importance of industrial hubs like RAKEZ, which are equipped to support businesses with streamlined access to key regional markets. RAKEZ’s integrated platform enables investors to capitalise on this momentum through cost-effective setup solutions, modern infrastructure, and a business-friendly regulatory environment.

RAKEZ’s participation in Buildexpo Kenya highlights its commitment to expanding its international footprint and forging deeper partnerships with high-growth African markets. At the exhibition, the RAKEZ team will showcase its world-class industrial zones, flexible business setup packages, and strategic value proposition for African companies looking to expand or establish operations in the UAE.

Throughout the three-day event, RAKEZ representatives will engage directly with industry stakeholders and visitors from Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda, Ethiopia, and neighbouring countries—demonstrating how its dynamic ecosystem supports cross-border growth and long-term success.

“East Africa’s infrastructure and construction sectors are undergoing a dynamic transformation, and we see tremendous potential for long-term collaboration,” said Ramy Jallad, RAKEZ Group CEO. “Our participation in Buildexpo Kenya is more than a showcase—it’s a strategic dialogue with forward-thinking investors and partners. We aim to demonstrate how RAKEZ can serve as a launchpad for African businesses to scale regionally and globally, powered by the UAE’s connectivity, Ras Al Khaimah’s industrial strength, and our unwavering commitment to enabling sustainable growth.”

Visitors to the RAKEZ stand will gain a comprehensive view of one of the UAE’s most dynamic industrial platforms. They will have the opportunity to explore customisable facilities for manufacturing, logistics, and trading, along with tailored setup options for businesses of all sizes. The pavilion will also highlight RAKEZ’s thriving network of over 30,000 companies, with dedicated specialists on hand for one-on-one consultations and real-world case studies from businesses that have successfully scaled within the ecosystem.
