Construyes! 2020 Live - LA (R)EVOLUCIÓN TECNOLÓGICA DEL SECTOR DE LA CONSTRUCCIÓN: Conectar para innovar - PTEC (LIVE STREAMING)

The machinery manufacturing sector is immersed in a fourth industrial revolution, also known as Industry 4.0, which pursues the digital transformation of the industry through the connection of the physical world with the digital world. The construction sector, one of the least advanced today in terms of digitization compared to other sectors, has also decided to tackle this digital revolution. The so-called Construction 4.0, by its analogy with the fourth industrial revolution, seeks to improve the productivity of the sector through the industrialization of construction processes and the incorporation of emerging technologies. In this context, machinery will play a leading role in the digital revolution that the sector expects. In the midst of this technological revolution, ConstruYes! is born, an annual event promoted and organized by ANMOPYC (Spanish Association of Manufacturers of Construction Machinery, Public Works and Mining), ITAINNOVA (Technological Institute of Aragon) and PTEC (Spanish Technological Platform for Construction). https://construyes.technology/

BIM WORLD : CONSTRUCTION, REAL ESTATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE INTO THE DIGITAL ERA - Salon National - PARIS EXPO · PORTE DE VERSAILLES

DIGITAL IS DISRUPTING THE CONSTRUCTION, REAL ESTATE AND INFRASTRUCTURE MARKETS. In 5 years, BIM World Paris and its partners have been able to "move the lines" and constitute one of the most dynamic European ecosystems in terms of Digital Transition. For all the players in these markets (professionals, local authorities, contractors, investors, etc.) the question is no longer "when and why" to initiate this transition, but "how, with whom and for whom profits”! The objective of the BIM World 2020 congress is therefore to provide pragmatic answers through customer testimonials, analyzes and expert opinions on concrete subjects.

Économie circulaire : recyclage, réemploi et mutation des bâtiments - Building Lab, PARIS

"Innovative solutions and processes illustrated by feedback from project owners, designers and companies". Come meet experts and understand the challenges of the circular economy in construction for sustainable construction. The circular economy is an emerging translation carrying the challenges of sustainable development; it is, with the incorporation of bioresources or sobriety (the right material in the right place, multi-material solutions), one of the most structuring themes for the sector. Cross-cutting by definition , this type of problem requires combining multiple skills, some of which are not so far used to being associated. Construction needs to evolve its model by opening up to the use of new products and components, particularly from a previous life.

United Nations Summit on Biodiversity - United Nations Headquarters in New York

The United Nations Summit on Biodiversity will be convened by the President of the General Assembly on 30 September 2020, at the level of Heads of State and Government under the theme of “Urgent action on biodiversity for sustainable development.” Our societies are intimately linked with and depend on biodiversity. Biodiversity is essential for people, including through its provision of nutritious food, clean water, medicines, and protection from extreme events. Biodiversity loss and the degradation of its contributions to people jeopardize progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and human wellbeing. The evidence of these connections is clear. The Summit will highlight the crisis facing humanity from the degradation of biodiversity and the urgent need to accelerate action on biodiversity for sustainable development. It will provide an opportunity for Heads of State and Government and other leaders to raise ambition for the development of the post-2020 global biodiversity framework to be adopted at the 15th Conference of Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity in 2021. This framework, and its effective implementation, must put nature on a path to recovery by 2030 to meet the SDGs and realize the Vision of “Living in harmony with nature”.

9th European Conference on Sustainable Cities & Towns - ICLEI Local Governments for Sustainability & Stadt Mannheim 2020 - Germany (ONLINE CONFERENCE)

Join us to take transformation forward with more than 800 participants from local and regional governments, European and international institutions, multilateral organisations, the research community, business and civil society. (https://conferences.sustainablecities.eu/mannheim2020/) (https://progireg.eu/events/?c=search&uid=EOgam0Zd)

World Green Building Week - World Green Building Council - Annual Campaign

This year, we’re asking you to #ActOnClimate. We’re calling on the building sector, policymakers and governments to take urgent action to deliver net zero buildings. We’re also calling on them to provide a showcase for those leaders already taking action to show where, why and how they are achieving it. It is time to bring these solutions to scale, and the industry is ready to deliver. Over five days, we will showcase examples of global industry leadership. We will deliver a coordinated, collective voice of the industry to demonstrate the existing leadership in the net zero building movement, and call for bolder and more ambitious regulation to unlock these solutions. (https://www.worldgbc.org/worldgreenbuildingweek)
