Where Digital, INNOVATION & AI generate Real-World Change

Digital, INNOVATION & AI is changing how we design, build and live

Futurebuild 2026 is the only UK event uniting digital, innovation & AI, towards sustainable construction.

Construction is entering a new era defined by data, automation and intelligence, the foundation for achieving net zero, improving safety and delivering smarter, more efficient projects.

Until now, there hasn’t been a single platform connecting the brightest digital minds with the people shaping our built environment. That changes at Futurebuild 2026.

Introducing the FutureX Pavilion, featuring the Powered by AI Zone, where construction meets code, and innovation meets opportunity. From advanced design software to predictive analytics, this is where digital transformation takes physical form.

blueprint

Why Digital, innovation & AI can’t wait

Net zero depends on it. The fastest route to decarbonisation runs through digitalisation, from real-time carbon modelling to AI-driven design optimisation.
Data is the new material. The built environment is rich with information that can unlock efficiency, predict performance, and eliminate waste, if we use it wisely.
The talent gap is closing. A new generation of digital-native professionals is ready to scale innovation, they just need the right tools and connections.

Your Moment to Lead

Position your brand as part of the construction tech revolution.
Showcase how your solutions drive smarter, faster, lower-carbon delivery.
Connect with high-value decision-makers ready to implement digital change.

NEW FOR 2026: the futurebuild digital digest

The Futurebuild Digital Digest brings digital pioneers and industry leaders together for a series of peer-led roundtables — turning theory into action plans.

Each session explores how to embed digital thinking into sustainability, circularity, and net zero delivery.

Real insight. Real collaboration. Real results.

THE FUTUREX TALKS PROGRAMME

The Future X Stage at Futurebuild 2026 will unite visionary thinkers, emerging disruptors, and technology pioneers to explore how we can build smarter, faster, and more sustainably. From practical applications to big-picture provocations, Future X connects digital transformation with climate impact, commercial outcomes, and long-term resilience.

This year, Future X becomes the home of Futurebuild’s innovation content — combining three powerful strands:

Digital Talks – focused daily sessions on AI, circularity, and the digital future of construction.
Impact Talks – short, sharp showcases from innovation partners and product pioneers.
Innovation Spotlights – live pitch sessions from the most exciting start-ups and scale-ups, plus future-focused debates with organisations such as Innovate UK, UKRI, and other major industry accelerators.

This is more than a tech stage. Future X is a platform for transformation — showcasing ideas with impact, technologies that deliver, and the people shaping the next era of sustainable construction.

Full Digital Talks lineup coming soon. Here’s what to expect:

Day 1: Circularity – Connect to Collaborate
How digital ecosystems are closing the loop, from BIM-led deconstruction to smart material tracking. The data driving circularity is here.

Day 2: Artificial Intelligence – Connect to Impact
From generative design to autonomous energy systems, AI is reshaping the path to net zero. Discover what’s working and what’s next.

Day 3: The Road Ahead – Connect to Innovate
Where is digital construction heading? Explore emerging standards, platforms and networks shaping the industry’s future.

Futurebuild has proved very beneficial for our company, particularly the Retrofit section which is only getting bigger and bigger. We have already booked for next year as Futurebuild is growing!

We are a small company trying to gain more visibility, and this is definitely the way to do it. Yesterday, we had some top-quality conversations with people who were not aware of what we could offer them, which provided great exposure for us. We are glad we decided to exhibit.

We are launching in a couple of months, so we came to Futurebuild to gain traction. The audience has been incredible; I've heard that it's better than last year and of higher quality. We are also getting lots of leads, which is great. Connecting with people from different businesses within the built environment industry is valuable, and it’s also a good way to see what others are doing.

Futurebuild brings together a wide range of industries, giving us exposure that we don't get on a day-to-day basis. It's great to see the number of people interested in our stand and products, and the amount of leads we've gathered is truly amazing.

Events like Futurebuild are essential because collaboration is absolutely the key to success.

We came here to showcase our products and create awareness, and we’ve certainly achieved that. It’s quite a diverse audience; you get to meet contractors, architects, designers, and specifiers, which gives us an opportunity to educate people on our message.

Attending Futurebuild has kept me busy! I gathered some solid leads and valuable data, but what truly made the experience exceptional were the engaging conversations I had with various professionals. The insights and connections I gained were invaluable, making the event a great success for me.
