digitalBAU Cologne

The "digitalBAU" is a pioneering trade fair that has been showcasing innovative digital solutions for the construction industry since its inception in 2020. It takes place biennially at the renowned Koelnmesse site in Cologne, attracting professionals from around the world who are keen to learn about the latest technologies and strategies in construction. Organized by Messe München GmbH, digitalBAU has established itself as a unique forum that consolidates expertise and industry-specific solutions.

The name "digitalBAU" not only highlights the focus on digital technologies in construction but also represents the integration of traditional building methods with forward-looking digital approaches. The fair highlights four key thematic areas: Connectivity (promoting the integration of analog and digital construction through technologies such as BIM, Metaverse applications, and robotics), Digital Construction Site (utilizing innovative techniques such as drone surveying, 3D printing, and specialized software to enhance efficiency and precision at construction sites), Circular Construction (focusing on the sustainable use of resources through the reuse of building materials and the principles of a circular economy), and Smart City (enhancing safety, sustainability, and quality of life in urban environments through intelligent traffic management and digital city administration).

The fair provides a platform for presenting products and services that address these core topics, attracting exhibitors and visitors from fields such as architecture, engineering, construction firms, and urban planning.

Thanks to Cologne's excellent infrastructure and good international transport links, it is an ideal location for this global gathering of professionals.

In summary, digitalBAU offers an indispensable platform for everyone interested in the future of the construction industry and the role of digital technologies in this sector. It allows participants to explore the latest trends and innovations and to form valuable industry connections.
