The organisers said the decision was unavoidable as the public health environment remains uncertain for the first half of 2021. The decision was made following consultations with industry professionals convened in the Intermat Board of Directors.

Intermat commented: “While many French and foreign exhibitors, who had remained loyal to the reference event for construction and infrastructure, had already confirmed their participation at the 2021 show, the constraints in April remained too disadvantageous to allow the show’s organisation to proceed smoothly.”

The next Intermat Paris will be held in April 2024 with its ambition as strong as ever: to represent an international and forward-looking showcase for innovation to conquer the construction markets of the future.”
