FAIRS & EVENTS208 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International %u2013 1 | 2026 www.cpi-worldwide.comThe construction sector is currently undergoing a fundamental transformation. Challenges such as high construction costs, a shortage of skilled labour, and the resulting need to significantly increase efficiency in both planning and construction phases shape the daily reality of the industry. At the same time, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly developing into a central driver and true gamechanger for the transition toward more efficient, sustainable, and adaptive building. For this reason, digitalBau (24-26 March 2026 in Cologne, Germany) is focussing on the theme %u201cGamechanger AI - Building for the Future%u201d, showcasing how AI technologies can revolutionize the entire value chain in the construction industry.AI supports every stage of a building%u2019s life cycle, from design and cost/risk analyses to automated quality assurance and energy-efficient operation. It enables data-driven decision-making, increases efficiency and sustainability, and is viewed as a key factor in the modernization of construction. The global market for AI in construction is growing rapidly and is expected to exceed 22 billion USD by 2032.digitalBau 2026 demonstrates how especially small and medium-sized enterprises can make effective use of AI technologies. Numerous exhibitors present practical solutions, such as cloud-based platforms, AI-assisted inspection and documentation tools, or intelligent tools for cost estimation, planning, and project management (including RIB, Nemetschek, Bluebeam, Nevaris, and Vectorworks).A comprehensive supporting technical programme with conference presentations and panel discussions on AI, ethics, and secure implementation complements the exhibition. With this scope and focus, digitalBau 2026 positions itself as a central platform for the digital transformation and future viability of the construction industry. ndigitalBau 2026 with the theme %u201cGamechanger AI %u2013 Building for the Future%u201d24%u201326 March 2026 in Cologne, GermanyFURTHER INFORMATIONwww.digital-bau.comThe theme of digitalBau 2026 is %u201cGamechanger AI %u2013 Building for the Future%u201d.
