Dubai UAE, November 17, 2015: The French building finishing industry will once again be attending the Big 5 Show in Dubai on November 23-26, 2015, with nearly 50 companies representing various sectors of the industry. The French companies will be grouped together in a 552 m² French section organized by Business France, a government agency supporting the international development of the French economy. The Big 5 Show is a key event in the Middle East to meet the industry's decision-makers and professionals. Total construction sector projects awarded in 2014 amounted to USD 30 billion, up 10% from 2013. The strong population growth (up 8% in 2014) and the World Expo expected to be held in Dubai in 2020 will require an additional 40,000 hotel rooms likely resulting in greater opportunities and allowing for French companies to position themselves with the purchasing advisors, namely the consultants, architects and interior designers. With a highly fragmented network of over 380,000 companies and €124 billion in turnover, the French building sector is extremely diverse ranging from structural (cement, concrete, exterior), building (roofing, insulation, bathroom facilities, heating and air conditioning, etc.), interior finishing and decoration (wall and floor finishing, paneling, luxury fixtures, home automation, etc.). France benefits from a reputation for reliability and quality, which are especially important in the building sector due to safety risks. French companies are recognized for their substantial expertise in sectors where technical skills are required and innovation, quality and design play a major role. In addition, French companies serve as a benchmark in terms of standards and regulations. For several years, French companies have been striving to increase their presence in the Middle East by positioning for major projects or by offering the market products with constantly evolving technology. The French offer stands apart thanks to its diversity and its innovative products and materials in the intelligent building, home automation, sustainable and ecological building, energy efficiency and wood construction sectors. Come visit the French exhibitors at the Big 5 Show in Business France's two sections at the Dubai World Trade Centre: Hall 1 and Hall Saeed.
