BuildTech Asia 2025 to accelerate innovation, sustainability and safety-driven transformation for Asia's built sectors

Asia's leading trade event for the construction and built environment ecosystem, BuildTech Asia (BTA) 2025, organised by Constellar, returns from 18–20 March 2025 at Singapore EXPO. Against a backdrop of evolving regulatory demands in building standards including sustainability and safety, as well as rising costs and rapid technological advancements, the 14th edition will drive the adoption of innovative technologies, sustainable practices, and digital solutions with the theme "Building Tomorrow: Innovate, Sustain, Transform".

Attendees will be able to connect with over 100 exhibitors and brands from 16 countries demonstrating the latest innovations that advance efficiency, productivity, workplace safety, and resilience. In partnership with leading industry associations and organisations, BTA 2025 will also host 15 specialised conferences, expert-led forums, and hands-on workshops addressing critical industry challenges and offering actionable insights, while enabling attendees to earn certification points.

Reflecting industry shifts towards openBIM as the industry standard for driving collaboration, cost efficiency and sustainability. BTA 2025 also welcomes the inaugural co-location of the buildingSMART International Summit, a pivotal global forum shaping the future of openBIM (Building Information Modelling) and digital construction.

Staying ahead of policy and industry shifts impacting future construction

Asia's built and construction sector is undergoing rapid transformation driven by technology adoption, policy shifts, and enhanced safety standards, while also accelerating efforts to integrate sustainability practices and standards. Singapore continues to lead the region with initiatives such as Corenet X, BIM implementation, robotics, and automation, marking new milestones in workplace safety performance and enforcing mandatory energy audits for sustainability. Meanwhile, Malaysia's policies including BIM mandate are reshaping project management. Thailand is advancing smart buildings and circular economy efforts through smart building projects. The Philippines is in the early stages of AI-driven digital transformation, and Indonesia anticipates a construction boom as its capital relocation to Nusantara progresses.

"The rapid transformation of Asia's built environment and construction sector signals a need for collective regional commitment toward digitalisation, safety, and sustainability. BTA 2025 is designed to address current industry needs, co-created in partnership with subject matter experts and industry associations to accelerate knowledge sharing, actionable insights and access to proven solutions. Structured around three key pillars - Innovate, Sustain, and Transform, BTA will empower developers, contractors, architects, engineers, facility managers, and policymakers to collaboratively shape the future of the built environment and construction in Asia," said Mr. Paul Lee, Chief Executive (Markets), Constellar.

The extensive curation at BTA 2025 will provide attendees with unparalleled opportunities to engage with global leaders, exchange transformative ideas, and drive meaningful action toward a more sustainable and digitally advanced future for the region's construction sector.
