This year BakuBuild brought together circa three hundred companies from 26 nation states. National pavilions are presented by Italy, the UAE and Iran. It is important to note that this year BakuBuild coincided with a significant date in the history of our country - Azerbaijan celebrates the 25th anniversary of the restoration of its independence. Thus, the exhibition was marked by the festive feeling of both the exhibitors and visitors.
The tradition of successful work of the exhibition is based on the fact that BakuBuild 2016 ensures a wide range of current products and services. As such, the exhibition included presentations of many products, innovations and services; participating companies gave a detailed account of their products, shared their experiences and answered questions of professionals regarding performance and quality indicators of their products. Many visitors took the advantage of the designers’ advice and consulted with the representatives of major construction companies. Those who were engaged in the repair and improvement of their homes received professional advice from the experts free of charge. The distinctive feature of this year’s exhibition was an active participation of furniture companies from Azerbaijan, Italy, Ukraine and other countries, who were offering a wide selection of luxury furniture.
