This year holds special significance for the “Rebuild Karabakh” exhibition as it marks its first anniversary milestone. The exhibition was first organized in 2021, following the historic victory achieved by the valiant Azerbaijani Army under the leadership of the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev, in the 44-day Patriotic War. At that time, the organizers decided to create a specialized platform dedicated to the restoration and reconstruction of the liberated territories, the strengthening of public-private partnerships, and the presentation of the most promising projects. Over the years, the exhibition has brought together around 300 local and international companies. From its very first edition, “Rebuild Karabakh” has showcased several projects related to the reconstruction and restoration of Karabakh, many of which are now being successfully implemented — including the Fuzuli International Airport and the “Smart Village” project.

In addition, with the active participation of the Karabakh Revival Fund, the exhibition hosted panel sessions defining the strategic directions of the region’s restoration efforts.

An essential part of the exhibition is its social mission. Each year, as a long-standing tradition and at the initiative of the organizers, every exhibitor contributes to the Karabakh Revival Fund through a donation in support of the ongoing restoration and reconstruction of the liberated territories. Since 2021, a total of 137,772.16 AZN has been donated. This tradition has become a key element of the exhibition and will continue in the years ahead.

The “Rebuild Karabakh” exhibition has become an important platform for the preservation and promotion of the region’s cultural heritage. One of the key events of the jubilee year will be the National Culinary Heritage Championship – “Karabakh Cup”, dedicated to showcasing Karabakh cuisine and promoting national culinary traditions. This project will provide an opportunity to present Karabakh’s rich culture to the international community. On the final day of the exhibition, an award ceremony for the “Karabakh Cup” individual competitions will take place. Thus, the “Rebuild Karabakh” exhibition combines business, social, and cultural dimensions, serving as a vital platform for knowledge exchange and the generation of new ideas aimed at the future development of Karabakh.

As in previous years, the Caspian Construction Week will feature panel discussions and sessions with the participation of leading construction experts. These sessions will focus on the implementation of innovative technologies, the establishment of new quality standards, and the reconstruction of the liberated territories. The programme includes sessions on: “Revival of Karabakh and Azerbaijan’s New Development Model”, “Supply Chain Financing”, “The activities undertaken by AZCON Holding and the state enterprises under its management within the First State Program on the Great Return”, “Quality Without Compromise: A Quality Model in Construction Materials”, “Architecture of the Future: Shaping New Trends and Innovative Approaches”, “Transport for a Green Future: Development of Public Systems and Eco-Friendly Vehicles”, “The Revival of Karabakh and Azerbaijan’s New Development Model”, “Development of Road Marking and Signage Systems in Azerbaijan”, and the conference “Smart and Green Solutions for Sustainable Development.”

Traditionally, a key part of the event will be the bilateral meetings (B2B and B2G). These meetings will provide participants with an opportunity to discuss cooperation prospects directly, expand business relations, and access new markets.

As part of the Jubilee Programme, a donation corner titled “Green Karabakh Begins with You” has been set up in the foyer of the Baku Expo Center. Visitors and participants of the exhibition can contribute to the planting of trees in Karabakh by making donations to the Karabakh Revival Fund.

In the foyer, a gallery featuring the awarded works of the 7th Baku International Architecture Competition, organized by the Union of Architects of Azerbaijan, is also presented.

In addition, the exhibition will feature the “Colors of Karabakh” Graffiti Art Space, where visitors will have the opportunity to paint an artwork dedicated to the anniversary of the “Rebuild Karabakh” exhibition.

As part of this year’s Jubilee Programme, the organizers will present special Certificates of Appreciation to companies that have demonstrated long-term commitment and mutual trust — specifically, those participating in the “Rebuild Karabakh” exhibition for more than four years and in the “BakuBuild” exhibition for over ten years.

As part of the event, an art exhibition featuring paintings created by members of the “Ümid Var” Inclusive Creative Community has been organized. These works will decorate the exhibition’s gala reception, during which an auction of the presented artworks will also take place.

For many years, the organizers of Caspian Construction Week have maintained the tradition of hosting special events during jubilee editions, and this year will be no exception. To mark the 30th anniversary of the event, a special programme has been prepared. The tradition of recognizing outstanding achievements in the construction field and rewarding successful graduates will also continue this year. A selected graduate from the Faculty of Architecture of the Azerbaijan University of Architecture and Construction will be presented with a special award by the organizers of the exhibition.
