TECH IN CONSTRUCTION
In statistical terms the construction sector is still among the least digitalised branches of industry. This is not all that remarkable, considering that building is still being carried out as it was 40 years ago. However, there has been a fundamental change in the general conditions. The industry is suffering increasingly from a lack of skilled personnel, while time pressures and the demands for quality are increasing. Since the supply of skilled personnel is restricted it is essential to make efficient use of existing resources. This is where assistance can be provided by digital technology and start-ups that have specialised in supporting the construction industry as it enters a digital future.
Whether this involves the processing of orders, Building Information Modelling (BIM), Smart Building or Virtual Reality – the scope offered by start-ups in addressing these issues is massive. And because there is still so much to be done in a digital context in the building industry, so new start-ups continue to appear in the field of construction tech.
These subjects are all addressed by bautec, which is working together with the start-up trade fair TECH IN CONSTRUCTION to provide a special area just for start-ups. Around two dozen start-ups will be presenting their solutions on an area of some 250 m² in Hall 4.2. In addition young entrepreneurs will also be presenting their problem-solving approaches at regular intervals on the main stage. A lounge area with a café is provided where discussions can take place.
