Build4Asia 2026 Expands with New PropTech and Office Tech Sectors

29 Nov 2025 CW Team

Asian PropTech will showcase technologies that optimise and streamline property management, while Asian Office Tech will spotlight workplace innovations ranging from automation and cybersecurity to communication platforms that enhance productivity and employee well-being. Together, they highlight how intelligent systems can transform buildings into responsive, user-centric spaces.

In a major development, Build4Asia has also announced its first collaboration with World Workplace Asia-Pacific (WWP), organised by the Hong Kong Chapter of the International Facility Management Association (IFMA). With strong networks across China, Singapore, Japan and Malaysia, WWP brings global facility-management leaders together with regional developers, architects, engineers and technology innovators.

Themed ‘Transforming Facilities: Driving Sustainability, Resilience & Innovation in Asia Pacific’, the two-day WWP conference will run from 6–7 May 2026. It will explore energy efficiency, carbon neutrality, urban policy and digital maturity in facility management, offering actionable insights and regional best practices that support smarter building design and post-completion operations.

With these additions, Build4Asia 2026 becomes more connected, comprehensive and technology-driven than ever. The event strengthens its role across the construction value chain, driving synergy between design, construction and ongoing building operations to support more sustainable and resilient urban environments.

Alongside the new sectors, Build4Asia will continue to feature its three established pillars — Elenex, Buildtex and Securitex — covering the latest in electrical engineering and lighting, building materials and technologies, and security, safety and fire protection.

United by a vision for smarter cities and people-centric spaces, Build4Asia 2026 aims to capture the full spirit of the modern building ecosystem.

Build4Asia 2026 will introduce two new dedicated sectors — Asian PropTech and Asian Office Tech — as part of its expanded focus on smart-city development. The new sectors reflect rising adoption of AI, big data and sustainable technologies across the built environment, and aim to strengthen the connection between building performance and the human experience.Asian PropTech will showcase technologies that optimise and streamline property management, while Asian Office Tech will spotlight workplace innovations ranging from automation and cybersecurity to communication platforms that enhance productivity and employee well-being.
