Signs a strategic collaboration agreement with Syrian consultancy firm
As Syria’s construction industry gathers momentum, Ajia marked its official entry into the Syrian market with its participation in the recently concluded BUILDEX 2026, the 5-day 24th International Exhibition for Construction at the Damascus Fairground, Syria.
As part of AJi’s strategic positioning in the Syrian market, AJi signed a Strategic Collaboration Agreement with Tala Engineering Consulting and Project Management, a Damascus-based Syrian consultancy firm.
The agreement establishes a framework for long-term cooperation to jointly pursue engineering consultancy, design, supervision, and project management opportunities across Syria, combining AJi’s international expertise with Tala’s deep local market knowledge and regulatory capabilities.
Opportunities
The collaboration will target opportunities across infrastructure, healthcare, urban development, hospitality, transportation, industrial, and public sector projects, in line with Syria’s anticipated reconstruction and development programme.
According to the World Bank’s latest assessment, Syria’s reconstruction needs are estimated at US$ 216bn, including US$ 82bn for essential infrastructure such as power grids, roads, and water networks, a scale of opportunity that calls for coordinated international and local participation.
Reconstruction
“At AJi, we believe reconstruction must be done right the first time, sustainably, with liveable, people-centred cities at its heart. No single firm or sector can deliver a national rebuild of this scale alone. Our agreement with Tala Engineering reflects exactly that spirit, international expertise and local knowledge working hand in hand to help shape a sustainable future for Syria,” explained Eng. Hamzeh Awwad, CEO, AJi Group.
The signing came at a pivotal moment for the country. Following the easing of international sanctions and renewed engagement from Gulf, European, and global partners, large-scale projects in transportation, energy, urban development, and industrial zones are rapidly reshaping the Syrian market, driving accelerating demand for engineering expertise, construction technology, and project management capabilities, a press statement concluded.
