In partnership with various industry associations and organisations, BTA 2025 will 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. More on BTA’s conferences here.
Reflecting industry shifts towards openBIM as the industry standard for driving collaboration, cost efficiency and sustainability, BTA 2025 will welcome the inaugural co-location of the buildingSMART International Summit, a global forum shaping the future of openBIM and digital construction. AtoZero, or ‘Accelerate To Net Zero’, a regional conference supporting the global climate change agenda, will also be co-located here.
In addition, BTA 2025 has collaborated with the Construction & Surveying Productivity Improvement Expo (CSPI), a leading exhibition in Japan for the construction sector, with the longer-term goal of connecting Japanese manufacturers with the ASEAN markets and showcasing Japanese capabilities in digitalisation and enhancing productivity for the sector.
Together with buildingSMART, Specialists Trade Alliance of Singapore (STAS) and Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSHC) respectively, BTA 2025 will also host the buildingSMART Pavilion, Work-at-Height Experience Zone, as well as the Singapore Pavilion which will feature 26 Singaporean companies offering consultancy services, digital and AI solutions, energy management systems, construction equipment and materials.
Key themes:
A). Innovate – unlocking the future of smart construction
Discussions on digitalisation, BIM interoperability and digital twin technology will take centre stage, with a focus on initiatives such as Corenet X and openBIM. These topics will also be explored in depth at the buildingSMART International Summit and SGTech Digital Transformation Conference, both held at BTA 2025 for the first time.
Alongside the above is APARA’s AI in Robotics Symposium, which will have a panel discussion on the rise of AI in robotics. Furthermore, attendees can explore the latest digital solutions and BIM innovations at the buildingSMART Pavilion, as well as with Autodesk, LeapThought, Nemetschek and more.
B). Sustain – driving energy efficiency & sustainable practices
The AtoZero @ BTA 2025: Sustainable Buildings and Energy Storage (SBES) Forum will debut, presenting the critical roles of electrification, digitalisation and carbon reporting. Conferences by IES, SIFMA and SCAL Academy will provide deeper insights into circular practices, material reuse and waste reduction. At the exhibition area, attendees can get to know and talk to sustainability-focused and energy efficiency grant-approved exhibitors, alongside sustainability-driven companies.
C). Transform – advancing safety & resilience in construction
Workplace safety and risk management continues to be a priority, with focal discussions at the Workplace Safety and Health Council’s Work at Heights Symposium, SPM Symposium, FPAS’ Fire Protection Symposium and the IPAF Seminar. Another highlight is the Work-at-Height Experience Zone, showcasing hands-on demonstrations and insights into innovative safety technologies.
