The rapid progress of the Russian exhibition industry has been well documented in recent years and in April 2007 the country will host its first trade event to exceed 80,000m² (net).

MosBuild is firmly established as the premier annual B2B marketplace for suppliers and specialists from the building and interiors trade. 2,750 exhibitors will be presenting, promoting, researching, demonstrating and developing future business with an anticipated audience of around 100,000 attendees over a four-day period.

MosBuild was first held in 1995 and its meteoric growth reflects the massive development of the building and interiors industry in Russia. It simultaneously occupies two of the largest exhibition venues in Moscow, namely Expocentr and Crocus Expo.

The event has captured the momentum of a very active industry. New commercial and domestic properties and widespread refurbishment projects have resulted in a boom period for the building and interiors sector in Russia. Increased disposable incomes have stimulated demand for a wide variety of products and services from around the world.

ITE’s General Director in Moscow, Alexander Shtalenkov, commented. “This milestone is significant for the whole Russian exhibition industry. It is further evidence of the development of our economy and of Moscow’s ability to host an event of such scale. This year’s MosBuild will be something that we can be very proud of but we won’t be celebrating for long as plans for 2008 are well advanced and the event will be even larger, more impressive and further developed next year.”
