The 46th edition of the International Fair of Congo Kinshasa (FICKIN), renamed under a new name, is about to open its doors in Kinshasa, capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo. This major event, which will be held from December 21, 2024 to January 20, 2025, promises to be a flagship event for the diversification of the national economy.
Under the ambitious theme of the “Fair for the promotion of trade for the diversification of the national economy”, FICKIN aims to be a fertile ground for exchanges between local and foreign companies. A significant choice, emphasizing the importance of not putting all your eggs in one basket, by encouraging the discovery and promotion of national productions through a renowned exhibition platform.
The Director General of FICKIN, Didier Kabampele Ngabul, clearly expressed the desire to project Congolese productions beyond national borders. Indeed, it is essential that the country’s wealth is not limited to a single sector, such as mining, but extends to various industries for a more robust and diversified economy. The Fair is thus positioned as a business crossroads, where local and international economic players can forge valuable links.
The inauguration of this edition marks a turning point, offering companies the opportunity to shine on a national and international scale. A concert by the artist Ferre Gola will punctuate the opening of this great economic event, a sign of an alliance between culture and commerce. During this festive period, FICKIN invites not only professionals to collaborate, but also families to have fun, with areas dedicated to children’s games.
In short, the International Fair of Congo Kinshasa stands as a symbol of exchange, discovery and promotion of Congolese talents and products. It embodies the vision of a thriving economy open to the world, where the diversity of sectors of activity contributes to the prosperity of an entire country. This event aims to be a reflection of a dynamic nation, ready to conquer new horizons.
