www.sarmanorde.lv Architecture, planning. SARMA & NORDE Architects took part in the Cityscape Abu Dhabi 2015 Exhibition on April 21-23, 2015 (the participation was also partly funded by LIAA). While the company hasn’t yet exported directly to AAE in particular, we see a good market potential for European architecture services. We also made new business contacts during the recent exhibition and, if there will be a free time in the official visit programme, we will use the free time to set up meetings with these contacts individually.

During the Cityscape exhibition, we made new connections and saw positive interest in the architecture services our office provides and possibility of useful partnerships. This is a region with high potential and AAE is currently in the process of intensive development, especially in construction. The demand for architecture, planning and design services is evident, and since local companies can’t supply all of the demands of the intensive development process, we have seen that local governments and private developers are very open and interested in attracting services from Europe and beyond.

The desirable partners (in order of importance) are: a) local or national government representatives in charge

of construction and development; b) private real estate developers interested in

architecture services; c) businesses and companies looking to expand and build

new facilities. The desirable form of cooperation would be a client interested in the services of architecture and planning for public facilities - government institutions, libraries, museums, banks, shopping malls, hotels – as well as private properties, such as apartment buildings and large scale office spaces.

SARMA & NORDE Architects would like to capitalize on the interest we have noted and use the opportunity of the official state visit to meet with both government representatives and private developers who might be interested in Northern European architecture and planning services. We expect to meet with government representatives and hear their current needs, situation and future plans in city development, housing and public construction. We would like the opportunity, if possible, to also discuss with them possible issues and interest in architecture services. Ideally, we would have the opportunity to also meet with private developers and businesses who could be interested in expansion.
