Preparing Bénin Méca Expo 2029

Three years to prepare the fair for metalwork, mechanics and machines made in Benin: mapping workshops, technical training, safety and organising the fair in Abomey-Calavi in December 2029.

Bénin Méca Expo 2029 will bring together in Abomey-Calavi, from 6 to 8 December 2029, the workshops of branch 3 of Beninese crafts: metals, metal construction, mechanics, electromechanics and electricity.

A machinery fair takes a long time to prepare. We need to find the workshops that already build useful machines, strengthen their skills and the safety of their work, then prepare the machines that will be demonstrated to the public and to visitors from the Netherlands.

This project funds that preparation, step by step. On this page you can see the budget, the steps and the amount already raised. NVBB (In Benin) organises the fair with our branch 3 partners.
