Edilespo Lugano

Edilespo, a construction trade fair held biennially in Lugano since 1986, has established itself as a vital platform for professionals in the construction industry as well as interested amateurs. The fair takes place at the prestigious Centro Esposizioni and is considered one of the leading regional construction trade shows in Switzerland, focusing on innovative building techniques, materials, and services.

The name "EDILESPO" stands for "Edilizia e Spazio", which translates to "Construction and Space", reflecting the fair's comprehensive coverage of topics in construction, planning, and housing solutions. The organizers, the eponymous organization EDILESPO, have made a name for themselves through their commitment to sustainable and energy-efficient building.

The fair covers a wide range of areas, including building systems, products for waterproofing and insulation, energy-efficient housing solutions, and advanced planning methods such as BIM and CAD. Special areas like the timber industry, building automation, and technologies for renewable energies are also emphasized, along with innovative outdoor solutions and current developments in the real estate sector.

Edilespo plays a significant role in the local and regional construction industry by integrating global trends with local conditions, thus contributing to the development of the construction sector in Switzerland. The fair is enriched with a comprehensive program of conferences, seminars, and expert discussions, focusing on energy efficiency, sustainable construction practices, and technological innovations.

Exhibitors and visitors of Edilespo come from all areas of the construction industry, from architects and planners to building contractors and specialists in building envelopes and energy management. The fair serves as a platform for professionals to discover new products, further their education, and forge valuable contacts.

The event location at Centro Esposizioni is notable for its central position in Lugano, providing an ideal backdrop for exchange and the promotion of innovations in the construction industry.

In summary, Edilespo not only serves as a meeting point for industry experts but also as a source of inspiration and a showcase for advanced technologies and methods that will sustainably shape the living and working environments of the future. With its unique combination of expertise, innovation, and regional grounding, it stands out as a highlight in the Swiss trade fair landscape.
