The 9th Bati Est Expo, an international trade fair for the construction and public works sector, concluded in Constantine with significant results. The four-day event, held at the Ahmed Bey exhibition hall from October 14 to 17, saw 18,000 visitors and 167 exhibitors. A total of 81 business and investment agreements were signed during the gathering. Salon commissioner Ahmed Haniche noted the high level of interest in the building and urban planning sectors. The exhibition served as an essential bridge between theory and practice, particularly for vocational training students who engaged with the latest construction technologies. Established in 2018, the event continues to drive national production, further enriched this year by dedicated spaces for start-ups and seminars on innovative construction solutions.
