Co-located events to address West Africa’s $668 billion infrastructure market and the fast-growing demand for energy-efficient HVACR technologies
Lagos, Nigeria – dmg events, a leading international organiser of business-to-business exhibitions, is expanding its footprint in Africa with the launch of two new co-located events in Lagos: West Africa Infrastructure Expo and HVACR Nigeria, both taking place from 7–9 April 2026 at the Landmark Centre.
The two events will run side-by-side and jointly address the parallel priorities of large-scale infrastructure development and sustainable, energy-efficient technologies.
West Africa’s rapid urbanisation and $668 billion infrastructure market (Source: ABIQ) are creating major investment and collaboration opportunities. Leveraging more than ten years of experience in the African market and offices in Egypt, Nigeria, and South Africa, dmg events continues to strengthen its position as a trusted partner for governments, investors, and industry leaders across the continent.
Matt Denton, President of dmg events, commented:
Urbanisation and climate challenges are reshaping the future of West Africa. With West Africa Infrastructure Expo and HVACR Nigeria, we are creating focused events that not only highlight the scale of opportunity but address in tandem infrastructure development and climate-conscious technologies. Africa remains a core market for dmg events, where we have built a longstanding presence since 2015 and continue to expand.
West Africa Infrastructure Expo will unite stakeholders from the entire construction and infrastructure value chain, covering urban connectivity, smart cities, digital infrastructure, waste management, power infrastructure, water management, and communications. The event will showcase solutions for flagship regional projects including the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Railway, Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway, Escravos Seaport Industrial Complex, and many others. It directly supports Nigeria’s National Integrated Infrastructure Master Plan, which aims to raise infrastructure stock to 70% of GDP by 2043.
Running alongside, HVACR Nigeria responds to the rapidly rising demand for advanced heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration technologies. With Nigeria’s HVACR sector projected to grow at a compound annual rate of 8.78% between 2025 and 2029 (Source: Statista Market Insights), the event will present energy-efficient solutions that improve air quality, preserve goods, and enhance building performance — all critical for sustainable urban and industrial growth in the region.
