The next International Built Environment Week (IBEW) will return as an in-person event from 5 to 9 September 2022, to be held at the Sands Expo & Convention Centre in Singapore. It will feature the IBEW Conference and its trade exhibition BEX Asia.

“The built environment sector is changing the way it designs, builds and operates to sustain competitiveness while addressing challenges such as climate change and manpower scarcity and keeping in step with the Singapore Green Plan 2030,” explained RX Singapore, the organiser of BEX Asia. “Cutting-edge technologies like 3D scanning, IoT powered energy and facilities solutions, integrated digital delivery (IDD) for projects along with insights and thought leadership are what attendees can expect at both the IBEW Conference and BEX Asia.”

Yip Je Choong, managing director of RX Singapore, added, “The pandemic has accentuated the need for the built environment industry to accelerate digital transformation. As the region’s premier market intelligence platform for the sector, it is imperative that we serve as an accelerator for the industry to move towards smarter and more sustainable future. With the built environment industry entering the upward cycle, we hope BEX Asia 2022 will help unearth new opportunities and drive profitable business relations.”

BEX Asia, which is running from 6 to 8 September, is expected to showcase some 200 brands and solutions from over 20 countries, and to host more than 10,000 professionals and decision makers from Singapore, the region and beyond. Among the solutions will include HVAC, robotics systems, building materials, energy management, IoT sensors and digitalisation.
