ATLM EXPO ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF LIFT EXPO CÔTE D’IVOIRE 2026 

A new platform for innovation in vertical mobility and building technology in West Africa

Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire – ATLM Expo is pleased to announce the inaugural edition of Lift Expo Côte d’Ivoire, scheduled to take place from June 9 to 11, 2026, at the Parc des Expositions d’Abidjan.

As the region experiences rapid urban growth and increasing demand for modern infrastructure, Lift Expo Côte d’Ivoire will serve as the first dedicated international trade show in the country for elevators, escalators, mobility technologies, and related equipment. The event will bring together manufacturers, installers, integrators, and solution providers from across Africa, Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, to meet with regional buyers and project owners.

Lift Expo Côte d’Ivoire 2026 will showcase the full scope of technologies driving the next generation of vertical mobility and building intelligence – including passenger and freight elevators, escalators, smart lift systems, IoT integrations, control panels, cables, motors, hydraulic systems, doors, safety equipment, energy-efficient technologies, and maintenance and modernization services.

The event will feature a Hosted Buyer Program, designed to serve as a powerful catalyst for international collaboration. This exclusive initiative will connect senior decision-makers and business leaders from across the region with global manufacturers and solution providers through tailored B2B meetings. The program creates a high-impact environment for sourcing, partnership-building, and knowledge exchange – supporting long-term growth, innovation, and regional integration within the vertical mobility and smart infrastructure sectors.

As the first exhibition of its kind in the region, Lift Expo Côte d’Ivoire will offer companies a gateway to new business opportunities, strategic partnerships, and valuable market insights. Through dedicated panels and expert-led conferences, participants will explore the latest trends in energy efficiency, intelligent systems, and vertical mobility solutions shaping the future of urban development in West Africa.

Since 2024, ATLM Expo has been turning its focus to Côte d’Ivoire – the fastest-growing economy in West Africa, with a population exceeding 30 million people. As the region’s economic powerhouse, Côte d’Ivoire offers exceptional potential, particularly through the new Parc des Expositions d’Abidjan, the largest and most modern venue in West Africa, inaugurated in 2023 by the President of the Republic. In 2025, ATLM Expo successfully organized five international trade shows in Abidjan, and in 2026, it will expand its presence by hosting 13 major exhibitions across multiple sectors.

The 2026 exhibition calendar at the Parc des Expositions d’Abidjan includes:

• April 16–18: Décor Expo / CBH Expo / Fashion Expo
• June 9–11: Lift Expo / HVAC-R Expo / Build Expo / Water Expo
• June 25–27: Medical Expo / Dental Expo
• September 8–10: Auto Expo / Power & Electricity Expo
• October 22–24: Food Expo / Horeca Expo

This world-class facility and growing event portfolio confirm Côte d’Ivoire’s emergence as a central platform for international trade and investment in West Africa, and position ATLM Expo’s exhibitions as unmissable business gatherings within their respective industries.
