Amman (Petra) Ghaleb Hijazi, Executive Director of the Jordan Enterprise Development Corporation (JEDCO), representing the Minister of Industry, Trade, and Supply, on Monday opened the 17th Interbuild Near East Exhibition, organized by Golden Gate for Organization of Exhibitions and Conferences Services.
The four-day event, running through Sept. 10 at the Jordan International Exhibition Center at Mecca Mall, features approximately 120 companies and exhibitors from Jordan, as well as several Arab and foreign nations.
Hijazi emphasized the role of specialized economic exhibitions in enhancing networking opportunities for Jordanian companies, fostering regional and international partnerships, and introducing modern technologies to boost private-sector competitiveness.

The current edition hosts diverse participants across construction, architecture, interior design, woodworking, stone and marble, lighting, HVAC systems, electromechanical installations, and green building.
