Potential to significantly assist Libya in various sectors
Jon Hancock of the British Libyan Business Association (BLBA) highlighted the significance of this participation, stating, “UK companies like Concrete Canvas possess the potential to significantly assist Libya in various sectors. Their innovative solutions, particularly in water management and infrastructure development, can play a crucial role in addressing challenges such as flooding, irrigation and erosion thus benefiting the Libyan community immensely. We are proud to support Concrete Canvas in their endeavour to engage with, and contribute to, the Libyan market.”
Hancock further added “This exhibition is a promising opportunity for strengthening business ties between the UK and Libya, showcasing how British innovation can contribute positively to the Libyan infrastructure and beyond. I believe that this is only the start of British companies re-engaging with Libya and I hope it may be the catalyst required to encourage many other UK companies to engage. The BLBA looks forward to assisting other UK companies enter Libya over the next few months”.
