DAMASCUS — The 24th International Exhibition for Construction, Infrastructure, and Security Systems (Buildex 2026), organized in Syria's capital city of Damascus, has opened its doors to visitors with the participation of 700 companies and over 1,400 brands, including more than 100 Turkish firms.

The opening ceremony was attended by Minister of Local Administrations and Environment Mohammed Anjarani, Minister of Culture Mohammed Yassin Salih, Minister of Tourism Mazen Salhani, Governor of Damascus Mahir Marwan, as well as numerous ministry officials and representatives from industrial, commercial, and economic circles.

Organized across an area exceeding 140,000 square meters, the exhibition brought together more than 700 companies and over 1,400 brands operating in the fields of construction, infrastructure, engineering, real estate development, and building technologies.

"Türkiye is already very active in the Syrian market"

Filiz Karakul, who takes part in the exhibition organization, stated in her declaration to the AA reporter that as a company, they have been organizing industrial exhibitions for over 35 years, particularly in the Middle East and Africa region.

Stating that they hosted more than 100 Turkish companies at the Buildex Exhibition this year, Karakul expressed that the companies in question are among the leading construction and building sector firms in Türkiye.

Expressing that they bring Turkish companies together not only with buyers but also with Syrian officials and relevant institutions, Karakul said, "Türkiye is already very active in the Syrian market. We believe that much larger works will be carried out in the upcoming period. We are very proud to be a part of this process and to contribute to Turkish exports."

Yunus Emre Karabıyık, one of the representatives of the Turkish companies participating in the exhibition, also stated that the event has been more productive compared to previous years. Expressing that their company exports most of its production, Karabıyık noted that their exports are mainly made to European countries, and that the exhibition offers important opportunities in terms of reaching new markets.

"Interest in the exhibition is quite high"

Hasan Hallof, the Middle East Regional Manager of a Türkiye-based ceramic and tile company, said that they are participating in the Buildex Exhibition for the third time. Stating that the exhibition has drawn intense interest since its first day, Hallof used the expressions, "Last year, the visitor density was lower in the first hours. This year, however, we see a much more active environment from the first day. Interest in the exhibition is quite high."

The 24th edition of Buildex will continue to host its visitors between June 10 and June 14, 2026, at the Damascus Fair City.
