International Trade Fair for Building Technology has established itself as one of the most important construction trade fairs in Germany. The last edition of bautec included some 37,000 trade visitors and featured the latest products from 520 exhibitors from 22 countries. Among the focuses of interest were concepts such as intelligent building, sustainability, energy efficiency, climate protection, and the use of modern building materials and techniques. The variety of high quality conferences and symposia in the technical framework program also provided evidence of the importance of bautec as an industry marketplace. Exhibitors and attendees at the event benefit from product and service offerings, discussions and conferences, and a broad range of the most current industry information. bautec is a platform that provides all exhibitors and visitors with excellent opportunities to establish new contacts, conduct business transactions, and engage in customer care.

Along with building materials, construction systems and components, Bautec showcases the future of architecture and construction planning with a focus on the following themes: energy-efficient and sustainable construction, intelligent living, reconstruction of existing buildings, noise and fire prevention, sanitary systems and building/living with renewable resources. In addition to new construction and urban development projects, modernization and reconstruction of existing buildings have become major sources of revenue for exhibiting companies and a primary focus for Bautec.

Focusing on the design, building and maintenance of outdoor areas, GRÜNBAU Berlin has become established as a new Bautec segment. The presence of major suppliers and industry associations makes GRÜNBAU Berlin a promising Bautec growth segment in gardening and landscaping. Key themes include improvement and revitalization of residential areas and the modernization of playgrounds and recreational facilities.

The Bautec conceptual approach aims at offering customers complete buildings within the scope of the exhibition and highlighting the systemic relationship between construction and building technologies.
