FACIM 2027: stands, exhibitor registration and protocol in Mozambique
We are the local partner for national and international exhibitors at Mozambique's largest multisector trade fair. From the 3D concept to the build, from the protocol team to the branded gifts — your brand arrives ready to sell.
Exhibiting at FACIM 2027
FACIM — the Maputo International Trade Fair — is the country's flagship multisector event, hosted at the Ricatla Exhibition Centre in Marracuene, roughly 30 kilometres north of Maputo. It is where Mozambican institutions, provincial delegations, industrial groups and international exhibitors meet buyers, distributors, partners and government decision-makers in one week.
For a foreign company, FACIM is usually the fastest route into the Mozambican market: a single presence that puts your product in front of importers, public institutions and provincial business communities at the same time. The difficulty is everything around it — registration deadlines, pavilion allocation, stand construction, temporary import of samples, staffing and protocol. That is the part we take off your desk.
Why work with Mozambique Gateway
We coordinate the full exhibitor journey locally, with one accountable point of contact. Production is done in Maputo, so signage revisions, replacement panels or extra print runs are handled in hours rather than shipped in. Our team stays on the stand for the full duration of the fair, and you leave with a documented report of leads and outcomes instead of a box of business cards.
For regulated matters connected to your participation — company registration, tax registration, work permits for visiting staff or customs on commercial imports — we coordinate with qualified local professionals and authorised specialists.

FAQ
FACIM 2027 frequently asked questions
Registration, deadlines, stand construction and support for foreign exhibitors.
What is FACIM?
FACIM is Mozambique's largest multisector international trade fair, held annually at the Ricatla Exhibition Centre in Marracuene, just outside Maputo. It brings together national and international exhibitors, government institutions, buyers and investors across agriculture, industry, mining, energy, construction, ICT, tourism and services.
When does FACIM 2027 take place?
FACIM traditionally runs in the second half of the year at Ricatla, Marracuene. Official dates for the 2027 edition are confirmed by the organisers; contact us and we will send you the confirmed calendar and registration deadlines as soon as they are published.
How early should we book our stand?
We recommend starting three to four months before the fair. Prime pavilion positions and build slots are taken early, and imported materials need lead time for customs clearance. Late bookings are still possible, but options narrow quickly.
Can you handle everything for a foreign exhibitor with no presence in Mozambique?
Yes. This is our core case. We act as your local representative for registration, payments to the organisers, stand build, staffing, customs on exhibition goods, logistics and hospitality, so your team only needs to arrive and sell.
Do you support other Mozambican trade fairs?
Yes. Beyond FACIM we support FIKANI and sector events with the same scope of registration, stand construction, branding, protocol and post-event follow-up.
How quickly can we get a proposal?
Send us the size of your allocated space, or your objectives if the space is not yet booked, and we will return a proposal with a 3D concept within 24 working hours.
