Feicon Rio fair opens amid housing and investment focus

Overview

The Feicon Rio construction fair has officially opened at Riocentro, running through October 8. The event serves as a central hub for companies, engineers, and professionals to showcase products and facilitate business connections across the construction supply chain. Exhibitors, including Zagonel, Âncora Group, and Sotreq, have reported strong engagement and high-quality professional attendance during the initial days.

During the opening ceremony, Julio Pereira, executive president of the Anamaco System, addressed critical challenges in Brazilian housing. He advocated for a permanent national policy dedicated to housing renovations, arguing that dignified housing requires more than just new construction. Pereira emphasized the need for accessible and consistent financing programs to enable families to expand and improve their current residences.

This event continues to highlight significant regional economic potential. The Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan) projects R$ 41 billion in infrastructure investments and R$ 20 billion in urban development through 2028. These projections align with the fair’s focus on integrating sustainability and advanced construction methods, such as the Encontro da Construção Avançada (ECOA) program, which addresses market intelligence and urban development.
