ICCX SPECIAL12 CPI %u2013 Concrete Plant International | India Edition %u2013 1 | 2026 www.cpi-worldwide.comPreparations for the first ICCX T%u00fcrkiye are in full swing, and the conference programme is already filled with absolute highlights. Both local experts and international speakers will share their expertise to provide attendees with a comprehensive range of valuable, practice-oriented information. The focus is on efficient, modern and cost-optimised construction with concrete. A special emphasis will be placed on earthquake-resistant construction, where the use of modern precast technology can set new benchmarks.The Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat) published the building permits issued for reconstruction in the earthquake-affected regions in August 2025. With the release of this data, building permits and completions rose significantly in the second quarter of 2025 %u2013 a positive signal for the concrete and precast concrete industry!In May and June 2025, Turkey%u2019s construction output had already recorded strong growth. The calendar-adjusted production index increased by 20-25% compared with the previous year, with building construction growing somewhat more strongly and civil engineering at a more moderate pace. This high growth is attributable to the extensive reconstruction following the February 2023 earthquakes. By June 2025, around 250,000 housing units had been completed, and by the end of 2025 the total reached approximately 450,000 units.Reconstruction Law 7471 is accelerating the issuing of construction permits and construction processes, while TOKI (The Housing Development Administration of T%u00fcrkiye) is playing a central role in planning, financing and implementation.Conference programme with a focus on earthquake-resistant construction using precast concreteA central theme of the conference programme will be construction in seismic regions. Several presentations will deepen the understanding of this complex subject and present the current state of earthquake-resilient construction methods.Prof. Alper Ilki of Istanbul Technical University (ITU) will provide an overview of the latest knowledge in his Keynote on %u201cSeismic Construction with Precast Concrete Elements %u2013 Lessons Learned%u201d.A dedicated session will address precast concrete construction under seismic conditions. Among others, Stef Maas, CEO of FEBE, the Belgian Precast Concrete Association, will give First-class conference programme to kick off ICCX T%u00fcrkiye 2026Istanbul, 13-14 May 2026The premiere of ICCX T%u00fcrkiye will take place on 13-14 May 2026 at the Renaissance Polat Istanbul Hotel. Istanbul is easily accessible from all parts of the world, which will enhance the international character of the event.Many practical topics related to the production of concrete products and precast concrete elements will also be featured in an exciting series of presentations.T%u00dcRKIYE2026
