As AI, robotics and digital technologies continue to move from experimentation into real-world implementation, built environment professionals are increasingly looking for proven solutions that can improve productivity, sustainability and operational performance. BEX Asia 2026 returns to the Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, from 2 to 4 September 2026, bringing together the industry leaders helping to shape the next phase of transformation across Asia’s built environment.
BEX Asia remains the region’s leading exhibition and market intelligence platform for innovation in the built environment. This year’s edition will bring together more than 200 exhibiting brands, with approximately 60 percent showcasing AI-related products and solutions, while about 25 percent will introduce new products, offering visitors a first-hand look at the latest innovations shaping the built environment.
New for 2026, the Build with AI Pavilion and Build with Robotics Demo Zone showcase how the industry is translating emerging technologies into practical applications. Visitors can experience immersive 3D virtual environments for planning, inspections and facilities management; AI-powered video analytics that enhance site safety by detecting unsafe behaviours and sending real-time alerts; connected construction platforms that track workers, equipment, and project progress; and digital tools that help businesses measure, manage, and reduce carbon emissions. Live robotics demonstrations will further showcase how automation is improving productivity, safety and efficiency across construction and building operations.
“The built environment sector continues to see strong demand, but firms across Singapore and the region are also facing growing pressure to deliver projects more efficiently, improve productivity, and meet increasingly ambitious sustainability goals,” said Yeow Hui Leng, Managing Director, RX Singapore. “BEX Asia 2026 responds to these industry needs by bringing together practical solutions—from AI-powered workflows and robotics to advanced construction and smart building technologies—that can help organisations transform the way they plan, build and operate. More than an exhibition, BEX Asia is where the industry comes together to explore practical solutions and exchange ideas, while building and maintaining valuable business connections.”
Innovation in Action
As the anchor exhibition of the International Built Environment Week (IBEW 2026), BEX Asia brings together solution providers, technology developers and built environment professionals looking to improve productivity, accelerate digitalisation and advance sustainability. The exhibition combines practical showcases with knowledge sharing and business networking, helping visitors discover technologies they can apply in their own organisations.
With an estimated 35% of exhibiting brands coming from overseas, BEX Asia continues to strengthen its role as a regional marketplace for innovation and collaboration. This year’s international exhibitors come from Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Switzerland and the United States, creating new opportunities for business collaboration and knowledge exchange. The exhibition will also feature dedicated pavilions including Ontario, Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks (HKSTP) and Solutions from China.
Among this year’s featured exhibitors are Singapore Polytechnic, alongside companies such as Camfil, BARO Construction, YITAC, BKTECH, Spatial Intelligence for Design, Technoform Bautec, and Paper Kosong Solutions, which will showcase its AI-powered, paperless inspection management platform designed to streamline inspection workflows.
“The biggest challenge today isn’t a lack of technology—it’s making sure information doesn’t get lost as projects move from design to construction and operations. When project teams are working from connected and up-to-date information, they make better decisions, reduce rework and deliver projects more efficiently. BEX Asia creates an important opportunity for the industry to see how these solutions are being applied in practice, exchange ideas with peers, and accelerate digital transformation across the built environment,” said Cheong Wan Ying, Chief Advisory Officer, IDA Technology.
Building Knowledge and Connections
Beyond the exhibition floor, BEX Asia 2026 offers a comprehensive learning programme designed to help built environment professionals turn ideas into practical solutions. Visitors can attend more than 18 masterclasses and seminars, exploring topics ranging from AI and digitalisation to sustainability and emerging construction technologies. The Singapore Green Building Council (SGBC) Seminar will also present a series of technical sessions, giving attendees the opportunity to deepen their knowledge while earning Continuing Professional Development (CPD) points.
Complementing the learning sessions, programme highlights include Future of Robotics for the Built Environment, which explores the growing role of robotics in construction and facilities management, alongside Build with the Philippines: A Forum on Partnership Opportunities with Singapore and Nexus: Bridging Artificial Intelligence and Sustainable Design Innovation, offering fresh perspectives on regional collaboration, AI and sustainable design. Curated business matchmaking and networking sessions will also provide additional opportunities for visitors to connect with solution providers and build new industry partnerships.
BEX Asia 2026 returns from 2 to 4 September 2026 at the Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands. Registration is now open. For more information, the latest exhibitor announcements and visitor registration, please visit www.bex-asia.com.
