History in the making

As the entirety of the Association of South East Asian Nations anticipates the great economic phenomenon known as the ASEAN integration of 2015, WORLDBEX, the Asia’s most anticipated building and construction exposition aspires to wield the onslaught of opportunities and mold it into realities that will catapult the industry into the forefront of economic ascendance.

Celebrating their 20^th year, WORLDBEX or the Philippine World Building and Construction Exposition brings together more than 500 exhibiting companies and more than a thousand booths. With more industry players setting its sight on the country, a rapid increase in construction activities is foreseen with the strong need to hasten modernization and urban development. This is why WORLDBEX is set to be bigger and better than ever.

With a theme, “Building Visions in the realm of ASEAN integration,” the exposition will position itself as a powerful tool for industry players to connect with the right network for this new era and discover the next big thing in this intensely competitive atmosphere.

Without the impetus to create and build, visions remain merely as visions. But with WORLDBEX 2015, you have absolutely nothing to worry about. It will not only provide direction, it will also be the catalyst to usher in a new era for the construction and building industry.

Build visions and open up windows to the future

WORLDBEX 2015 will take place from 11-15 March 2015 at the World Trade Center Metro Manila (WTCMM), WTCMM East Wing A & B and the Philippine Trade Training Center. WORLDBEX 2015 will cover a total exhibition area of 30,000 square meters. For more information on WORLDBEX 2015, telephone (+63) 2 6569 239, email info@worldbex.com or visit www.worldbex.com.
