A hugely successful week in
Thailand focused on “building networks” for the construction sector
Building Construction
Technology Expo 2024 (BCT Expo 2024), the Southeast Asian Building and
Construction Exhibition and Conference, took place successfully in Bangkok,
Thailand from 18th to 20th September 2024.
BCT Expo 2024 organized
under the theme “The Construction Meeting Place” saw the participation of 150 exhibiting companies and brands
from 16 countries, with over 3,879 industry visitors from 35 countries.
This 3-day event presented
a comprehensive range of machinery, equipment, tools, technology, materials and
solutions across 10 AEC clusters ranging from earthmoving and demolition,
lifting and handling, road construction, concrete and cement, materials, tools
and equipment, digital construction, AI & robotics, construction services
to smart facility management
It was a hugely successful
week for attendees to build their networks as this regional industry gathering
provided the face-to-face bridge for international collaborations and
networking, bringing together ideas, solutions, innovations and partnerships
for the AEC sectors.
Prior to the start of BCT
Expo 2024, a special “International – Thai Construction Networking Cruise
Night” along the Chao Phraya River was arranged to provide attendees with a
unique river cruise networking experience that was very well received by both
its local and international attendees.
Apart from the exhibition,
BCT Expo 2024 also saw the conduct of a series of knowledge-rich conferences,
where over 30 industry experts from various international and local
organizations shared their insights on emerging trends, technologies and
sustainability. Some of these conference topics included AI & Robotics,
Future of Construction Equipment, Green Construction Transition, Drones
Applications, BIM, and Smart Facility Management.
Another key highlight of
BCT Expo 2024 was its highly successful “business- matching program”, that saw
the conduct of over 520 pre-arranged
business meetings between pre - qualified hosted buyers and exhibitors. This
“business matching program” had allowed exhibitors to pre-schedule one-to-one
meetings with their targeted key buyers.
The success of BCT Expo
2024 is a testament to its records over the years, in facilitating growth for
the AEC markets, not just in Thailand but also in the Southeast Asian region.
This event provides a dynamic face-to-face platform for suppliers, trade
visitors and buyers to network, exchange views, update on latest trends, and
forge new business deals and opportunities.
