Infrastructure development serves as the backbone of economic growth, social advancement and environmental sustainability. In South Africa, the $193 billion infrastructure market is supporting the nation’s economic growth in line with the National Development Plan 2030 and the National Infrastructure Plan 2050, and addressing the sector’s needs is the inaugural South Africa Infrastructure & Water Expo.

Running from 18-20 June 2025 at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg, the new event, co-located with Big 5 Construct South Africa, will advance the industry in South Africa through its focus on innovation and transformation.

Population growth, a surge in the tourism sector, the expansion of the power industry, increased demand for water projects and the need for improved waste management solutions have all significantly contributed to the development of the sector. In South Africa, the government unveiled 12 major projects prioritizing transport, energy, education and other key areas of the economy.

Commenting on the launch of the new event, Mehtap Gürsoy, Portfolio Director – Construction, dmg events said: “The launch supports the region’s ongoing investment into the sector’s innovation and transformation. It brings together the infrastructure, water and construction value chains in a centralized space where decision-makers and leaders can collaborate to create the future.”

“The event aligns with the nation’s development plans for the industry as it plays an essential role in driving regional development and enhancing the overall quality of life, and that successful implementation requires meticulous planning, engineering expertise and coordination across various stakeholders.”

In its inaugural edition, the event will feature products and services across five dedicated sectors that include urban connectivity, water and waste management, smart cities and digital infrastructure, communications and planning, and the construction of power infrastructure.

Big 5 Construct South Africa will return from 18-20 June 2025 at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg, co-located with the inaugural South Africa Infrastructure & Water Expo, to provide attendees and exhibitors with the opportunity to reconnect with the industry and facilitate growth and advancement.
