First event of its kind, ‘Construction: Towards an Inclusive Digital Strategy’ workshop has been endorsed by the European Commission as an official event of the 2018 EU Industry Day.

Digital changes will be disruptive for a sector of 3 million companies that employ more than 18 million people. Through circular economy and climate change commitments, the construction sector must embrace digital in order to do more with less. Technological solutions range from BIM in the design phase to drones for geological surveying, from sensors in IoT to big data, from autonomous driving of construction equipment to digital CE Marking of products. For this digital transformation to be successful, all actors of the supply chain must be involved and coordinate their actions. The result would be a common approach towards an European digital construction strategy.
