Between now and 2035, 182 km of railway lines will be built between Karlsruhe and bypass in Algeria, the EMEA1 zones offers a multitude of opportunities for professionals working in Rastatt in Germany, requiring two one-way tunnels to be bored beneath the city of Rastatt. Meanwhile the construction sector. the cross-border Brenner tunnel running between Italy and Austria, due to be commissioned in 2025, is set to become the longest tunnel in the world, seven kilometres longer than the Gotthard Tunnel. Over the course of its successive editions, INTERMAT Paris has become the reference trade show for all international professionals in the construction and infrastructure market. INTERMAT 2018 in particular As regards Africa, the building and public works sector in Algeria recorded growth of 5.6% in 2016. promises to be an opportunity for valuable meetings between actors from the EMEA zone: building The orbital route around Algiers (4th southern bypass) stretching 260 km and the goal of building 1.6 contractors, manufacturers, suppliers of equipment and solutions will thus have a venue at which to million dwellings in the country by 2019 reflect the vitality of the sector.

In view of the profound economic, social and environmental change currently underway, INTERMAT accompanies industry players in this transformation with new high added value tools and content. We wish you an enjoyable read and look forward to seeing you in Paris from 23 to 28 April 2018! The INTERMAT 2018 Observatory was thus born out of the desire to establish stronger bonds with the market and provide construction equipment manufacturers with strategic research on 12 countries in the EMEA zone, handpicked for their planned investment levels in infrastructure and buildings. Its objective is to offer insight into market opportunities for the equipment manufacturers present across the exhibition’s four hubs of expertise: Buildings & Concrete Sector, Roads, Minerals & Foundations, Lifting, Handling & Transportation and Earthmoving & Demolition2. For each country examined, we invite you to discover the domestic investment plans, the major challenges of seven sectors of application3, the main imports and exports of construction equipment and the foreign brands present in the country. The Observatory also provides exclusive analysis of the major construction projects underway and planned for the future to 2025-2030 and the main stakeholders involved in these projects. Several iconic projects are already in evidence, offering high potential for machinery manufacturer involvement. In Europe, Grand Paris Express tops the bill, making France the leading worksite in Europe, with 200 km of rail network, four new lines created around Paris and the extension of two existing lines, the construction of 68 stations and the development of new neighbourhoods around these future urban hubs.
