In this version, under the concept of sustainable architecture as innovative design for homes and offices; where environmental conservation and the generation of new technologies in automation, supplies and service are promoted.

According to the CEO of Camacol, Sandra Forero, this momentum for construction makes different industries related to the sector boost, strategically achieving common benefits that go far beyond chains or the demand for supplies, impacting in productivity and competitiveness from the joint businesses.

"This fair is an example of such initiatives. In addition, we are making progress on a strategy to support the sector so that it gets into the Productive Transformation Program (PTP) and in this context we want to promote actions for the growth of the market of construction supplies," she stated.

Colombia exported about $2,000 million annually in major construction supplies, a figure that could increase taking advantage of the export potential and external demand, so this stage potentiates the alternatives of association in an international environment.
