Our focus is to understand why other companies like us are here, what they’re launching, and to get a feel of what the market is like or what it’s going to be like in the future. It gives us a nice overview. Today, I’ve gained a better perspective of companies similar to us, what they’re forecasting for the future, and how their technology aligns with ours.
I come to the show every year I've been coming since the days of ecobuild. I work in sustainability on the renewable sky working mainly on solar. So I catch up with a lot of my London based customers here, It’s an interesting event for for sustainability professionals. So more or less glad to come.

I have come to Futurebuild to see the future. I have seen a lot of things I have never seen before, and it really is portraying the future of the construction industry. It has made me want to learn a lot more, and the show has been perfect so far.
I’m an architect, and it’s my first time at Futurebuild. We recently started a new project, so I’m here to look for new ideas and see what’s going on in the industry. I’ve really enjoyed all the seminars and conferences I’ve attended so far, which have been very knowledgeable and covered topics about net zero. Overall, it’s a good event.
This is my first time coming to the show and I come to Futurebuild to pick up more information on the new products within the construction market. I found some of the new products in the industry like the expandable polystyrene really interesting.
Really happy with the help I got from Johannes in trying to find the Passivhaus speaker slot on the building stage. I wish I was staying longer than a day, as this show is so big and relevant to what I am after.
To network and learn within the industry and highlight the number of relevant companies focused on net zero-based initiatives, the show is so big I had to stay an extra day as I couldn’t do it all in one. Everything is so relevant for me as I am looking into food and drinks. I like the SI area a lot, but all over, I keep finding things that help me.
I've visited Futurebuild today and have bumped into great people so far. I wish to find like minded people within the same space in hopes for collaborating and/or pointing towards the right direction for greatness.
I’m a sustainability partner/consultant, and it’s my first time at the event. I had some great conversations with exhibitors and speakers. One thing that stands out about Futurebuild is its attention to social values and net-zero. It has been a great first visit.
Overall, a great event with a lot of engaging content. Really enjoyed the Financing Retrofit conference, and a lot of good points were given as solutions. There’s nothing to complain about; everything is as we expected it to be.
Yeah, so I work in the industry, I work as a sustainability manager. For me, everything that is driving sustainability around the built environment is key. I was quite curious to see innovations, especially on the digital side, in terms of how sustainability is being integrated into the built environment.
So, I'm an analyst at LCP Delta, which is a company that provides consultancy services. I came here to do some research. Our focus is to understand why other companies like us are here, what they’re launching, and to get a feel of what the market is like or what it’s going to be like in the future. It gives us a nice overview. Today, I’ve gained a better perspective of companies similar to us, what they’re forecasting for the future, and how their technology aligns with ours.
