Digitalization, sustainability, and innovation are shaping the construction industry. Construction companies are facing challenges such as raw material shortages, rising project costs, supply chain issues, a shortage of skilled workers, and climate change. This is why new and innovative solutions are needed! Artificial Intelligence, Building Information Modeling (BIM), Lean Construction, and Green Building concepts are revolutionizing construction projects step by step toward Construction Industry 4.0.
But how can you use these technologies optimally for your company? And which construction software solutions really make a difference? The Construction Summit is the perfect opportunity to learn about and exchange ideas on current challenges as well as trends, best practices, and strategies of renowned companies. Over two days, the leading trade fair and conference for digitalization, sustainability, and innovation in the construction industry brings together visionaries, innovators, top speakers, and C-level decision-makers to actively shape the future of construction together.
On April 22 and 23, 2026 in Hamburg.

The Construction Summit is an important platform. Unfortunately, sustainability in practice is not yet the standard in the construction industry. We were able to address this and make it accessible to an interested audience in Hamburg. In addition, the exchange with the construction start-ups is very inspiring.

Construction Summit 2026, taking place on April 22 and 23 in Hamburg, is the central platform for digitalization and innovation in the construction industry. With a diverse program featuring expert presentations by renowned speakers, discussions, and workshops, the summit offers comprehensive insights into modern technologies and innovative approaches that are revolutionizing the construction sector. Topics such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Building Information Modeling (BIM), Lean Construction, and Green Building are at the forefront and demonstrate how digitalization improves the efficiency, sustainability, and economic viability of construction projects.
Digitalization in the construction industry is a key focus of the summit. Technologies such as BIM enable optimized planning and execution of construction projects by providing precise and transparent data management. This helps reduce errors and delays, which is especially important in times of rising project costs and skilled labor shortages. By using BIM, communication among all stakeholders is improved, enhancing the quality and efficiency of the entire construction process.
Another highlight is the use of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) in the construction industry. AI can help automate construction processes and deploy resources more effectively. IoT solutions enable the collection and analysis of real-time data, allowing optimized control and monitoring of construction processes. These technologies help deliver construction projects not only faster, but also more cost-effectively and in a more environmentally friendly manner.
Sustainability is another key topic at the Construction Summit. As the construction industry accounts for a significant share of global CO₂ emissions, pressure is increasing to find more environmentally friendly solutions. The summit presents the latest concepts such as Green Building and smart building design, which aim to reduce energy consumption and emissions. It demonstrates how environmentally friendly materials, energy-efficient designs, and sustainable construction methods can be implemented in practice. These approaches are not only beneficial for the environment, but also increase the long-term value of real estate.
In addition to knowledge sharing and best practices, the summit offers extensive networking opportunities. Participants can connect with experts from various fields, ranging from innovative start-ups to established construction companies. The event creates an ideal environment to build connections, form partnerships, and exchange insights on the latest trends and technologies. The start-up zone is particularly interesting for investors and companies looking to learn about fresh ideas and technological innovations.
Construction Summit 2026 is an essential event for everyone who wants to actively shape the future of the construction industry. Whether you come from planning, development, construction, or facility management, you will find inspiration and practical solutions for the industry’s current challenges. With topics such as Lean Construction and automation, the summit also offers concrete approaches to making construction projects more resource-efficient and cost-effective. The goal is to create a future-oriented construction industry that is both economically and ecologically sustainable.
In summary, Construction Summit 2026 is an excellent opportunity to learn about the latest developments in the construction industry and discover innovative technologies that support the transition toward a digital and sustainable construction economy.
