Hyderabad Expo Center was established by now defunct City District Government Hyderabad (CDGH) by the Mayor of Hyderabad, Kunwar Naveed Jamil. The main aim of the Expo Center is to introduce agricultural and industrial production of Hyderabad District, Sindh in the international market.[1]
Although Karachi Expo Centre and Lahore Expo Centers are established by the Trade Development Authority of Pakistan which is a department of the Federal Government of Pakistan, Hyderabad Expo Center, was built locally by the then district government out of its own budget.[1][2] Hyderabad Expo Center was inaugurated on February 12, 2010 by Farooq Sattar.
Presently, Hyderabad Expo Center is one of the three expo centers operating in Pakistan. As of 2010, agricultural produce and industrial products worth $500 million were being exported from Hyderabad District to 41 foreign countries and this Hyderabad Expo Center would hopefully further improve those figures. After Karachi, Hyderabad is the second biggest economic hub in Sindh.[1][3]
