Organised by the Gambia Chamber of Commerce and Industry (GCCI) with strategic partners, the fair will bring together buyers and sellers as it provides a platform for products and services to be showcased at the stadium.
There will be various goods and services on exhibition in about 250 stalls occupied by both local and international participants. The local participants include businesses and entrepreneurs in the construction industry, agriculture, renewable energy, manufacturing, tourism, banking and financial services, management services, NGOs, public enterprises, among others.
