hub.brussels, in collaboration with the Confédération de la Construction de la République Démocratique du Congo, is organising an economic mission in the construction sector from 5 to 10 October in Kinshasa. This is an opportunity to establish connections with this country with great development potential.

About

During this mission, you will have an opportunity to visit Batico, the international property, architecture and interior design show in Kinshasa.

You will also get to discover the prospects offered by the digitalisation of the construction sector in DRC.

The mission will also provide an opportunity to hold targeted B2B meetings in other sectors. Although these meetings are not part of the group programme, they will enable participating companies to explore opportunities specific to their fields of activity.
