BIM World COPENHAGEN will be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from 16 to 17 September 2026, bringing together a wide range of experts from across the fields of digitalisation in construction, real estate and urban development. This includes surveyors, mappers, architects, engineers, contractors, building owners and consultants.
Billing itself as ‘Fuelling the future of the building industry with data and digitalization’, the event will tackle the transformation facing the construction industry, including the pressure to reduce emissions, cut waste and design for circularity, by zooming in on data as the essential link between the green and digital transitions.
