Market visibility, deals, partnerships headline expectations from AIHS 2025

For real estate developers, financiers, exhibitors and sundry professionals that will be participating in this year’s edition of Africa International Housing Show (AIHS), a lot of benefits lie in wait for them.

Top of the benefits which they should be expecting from the housing show are market visibility, major deals in services and products, and strategic partnerships. Others are global exposure, unmatched networking and business expansion.

The annual event, now in its 19th edition, has been slated for July 27 to August 1, 2025, at the Transcorp Hilton, Abuja, and according to the organisers, it promises to be the most impactful yet.

Organised in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and Africa Union of Housing finance, AIHS 2025 will serve as a powerful platform where stakeholders, thought leaders, innovators, and policymakers will gather to shape the future of Africa’s housing and urban development.

The show is expected to be officially declared open by President Bola Tinubu and is also expected to draw participants from over 21 countries.

“AIHS presents a unique opportunity to connect directly with high-quality leads, secure on-the-spot deals, and showcase cutting-edge solutions to an engaged and diverse audience,” the organisers said.

“Live product demonstrations, business-to-business matchmaking, and exposure through media partners such as Housing TV Africa (Channel 149 on StarTimes) and Housing Development Programme on AIT (DSTV channel 253, GOtv channel 93 and StarTimes channel 275) will ensure maximum brand visibility,” the organisers assured.

Exhibitors are assured that with a bustling exhibition floor, curated networking sessions, and investor-driven panels, AIHS 2025 will unlock new revenue opportunities.

As Africa continues to urbanize rapidly, with its population projected to double by 2050, the demand for housing innovation, infrastructure, and finance solutions has never been more urgent. AIHS 2025 aims to be at the forefront of this transformation, positioning participating brands as key players in building the continent’s future.

With over 400 exhibitors, 50 speakers, and more than 40,000 attendees expected, the show will reaffirm its reputation as the continent’s largest and most influential housing and construction gathering.

From local developers to international building tech firms, the event continues to foster impactful connections and scalable solutions for Africa’s built environment.

The organisers urge Nigerians who are interested in owning homes, purchasing home interiors, building materials, learning about real estate technology, exploring affordable housing finance options, connecting with top property developers, discovering smart home innovations, and meeting industry experts and investors from different countries to tap the opportunities the housing show offers.
