The Airport Show 2024 is a key player in the industry, connecting aviation leaders under one hub for airport innovation to future-proof the Middle East, Africa, and Southern Asia’s (MEASEA) airports. Due to that goal, the show aims to target $278 billion worth of airport projects across the region.
To give the industry’s decision-makers an opportunity to tap into these projects, the Airport Show, proudly announces its instrumental role in orchestrating the Business Connect Programme. This pivotal networking initiative is scheduled to take place from May 14–16, 2024, at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC).
With this contribution to the event’s dynamic setting, Airport Show 2024 is thrilled to be at the forefront of this endeavour. The objective of the Business Connect Programme is to promote collaboration, direct innovation, and facilitate significant connections within MEASEA’s aviation industry, which is consistent with the show’s mission.
Increased demand for air travel and the expansion of aviation infrastructure in the region are two of the many factors propelling the development of the Middle Eastern aviation market. A Rational Stats analysis forecasts a significant CAGR of 3.9% for the Middle East Aviation Market from 2023 to 2030.
Airport services, airlines, and aviation support services comprise the aviation market, and due to that wide range of services, the market was valued at $60 billion in 2023. There are still ongoing airport projects in other countries. Thus, it is essential for aviation’s decision-makers to stay updated with the latest trends and innovations.
The Airport Show’s Business Connect Programme is a paramount networking opportunity for the aviation industry’s players to meet with over 200 international brands and more than 150 buyers attending from 20 countries. Through a variety of complimentary networking services, the Business Connect programme facilitates business connections between attendees, purchasers, and exhibitors. And as a testament to its success, the Business Connect Programme facilitated a total of 3,278 meetings in 2023.
Business Connect’s numerous services available to participants include VIP guided tours, which are exclusive tours that bring high-level attendees directly to selected stands. It also features technical tours, which aim to guide buyers on relevant products and technologies on the show floor; meet-and-greet sessions, which serve as a casual networking gathering to connect buyers with international pavilions; speed networking, which is effective and targeted networking between buyers and exhibitors; and the Buyer’s Lounge, which is a dedicated area for exhibitors and buyers to expand their networking opportunities.
