The 11th Caspian International Road Infrastructure and Public Transport Exhibition - Road&Traffic takes place on the same dates. Thus, four significant events are hosted simultaneously in the Baku Expo Centre, a traditional exhibition venue.

This year's exhibitions are taking up ever more space, demonstrating a greater exposure year over year; the third hall of the Baku Expo Centre has already been utilised this year, whereas the event covered the two halls the previous year. During Caspian Construction Week, stands will also be set up at the Baku Expo Center's open space.

It is noteworthy that the exhibitions coincide with a memorable occasion: this year, we celebrate the 100th jubilee of Heydar Aliyev, the National Leader of Azerbaijani nation, the founder of the independent Azerbaijani state and an outstanding politician and leader. This celebration is reflected in the Week's program as well. The Great Leader's contribution to Karabakh and his visits to the region are commemorated with a stand at the Baku Expo Centre.

Participating in the set of events are 391 companies from Azerbaijan, Belarus, the Czech Republic, China, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, India, Iran, Italy, Kazakhstan, Lithuania, Netherlands, Poland, Russian Federation, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain, Türkiye, UAE, Uzbekistan, and other countries. Moreover, national and regional stands were put up by Germany, Hungary, the Czech Republic, United Arab Emirates, the Russian Federation and Uzbekistan.

Rebuild Karabakh, the first and only specialized exhibition dedicated to the reconstruction of the region, is held for the 3rd time this year. It aims to draw public attention to the positive changes that take place in Karabakh and works to involve companies and other entities in the restoration of the region.

Rebuild Karabakh urges international participants to engage in investment projects in Karabakh; its ultimate objective is to boost investments in the region, ensure the participation of foreign companies, and have the regional infrastructure restored and civil facilities built from the ground up. The variety of innovative products, services, and solutions presented at the exhibition factors in new contracts between representatives of various industries for the sake of joint projects in Karabakh.

Both local and foreign companies from various sectors showing their high interest in the exhibition is the sure sign of Rebuild Karabakh having become one of the momentous events of the exhibition industry in Azerbaijan over the past years. Another proof of this achievement is the welcome letter to the participants from President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, which is published in the official exhibition catalogue.

It is noteworthy that, pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding signed as part of Rebuild Karabakh 2021 exhibition, Caspian Event Organizers and Iteca Caspian, the organizers of various international exhibitions and congresses in our country, donated in both 2021 and 2022 a part of the income from the sale of the exhibition area to the Karabakh Revival Fund as a support to the restoration and reconstruction works underway across Azerbaijan's liberated territories. Currently, cooperation with the Karabakh Revival Fund is ongoing in this direction and every exhibitor will donate to the Karabakh Revival Fund in 2023, as well.

Rebuild Karabakh is covering such fields as ecology, energy, information technology, construction, building materials, agriculture, mining, transport, security, road construction and infrastructure and a number of other sectors.
