Swissbau 2024: Return to the old greatness

After the one-off special edition Swissbau Compact in May 2022 due to the pandemic, Swissbau will return with new formats and in its old size from Tuesday, 16 to Friday, 19 January 2024, according to Swiss Exhibition MCH. Around 800 exhibitors and partners are expected, as well as more than 80,000 visitors. As a multi-sector exhibition, Swissbau 2024 brings together decision-makers from the planning, construction and real estate sectors and promotes mutual exchange and collaboration. The Swiss Society of Engineers and Architects SIA and Bauen digital Schweiz / Building Smart Switzerland are represented as Leading Partners.

Swissbau 2024 sees itself as an interdisciplinary platform for architecture, planning and crafts, the real estate industry as well as owners and investors. The motto of the next trade fair is "Shaping change together". Innovations and solutions will be presented, discussed and developed - with the aim of meeting the social challenges surrounding globalization, digitalization and climate change as an industry, according to a statement.

New and proven formats at Swissbau 2024

With Swissbau City, a new trade fair concept with marketplaces and a wide range of presence options awaits the approximately 800 exhibitors. The three marketplaces are located in the thematic areas "Shell + Building Envelope", "Building Technology" and "Interior Construction". They offer the various interest groups a specific meeting point at Swissbau 2024. Around each marketplace are the so-called all-in counters, which exhibitors can use for their individual presentations. Each marketplace also offers catering facilities and a Speakers Corner for presentations and pitches.

The two collaboration platforms Swissbau Focus and Swissbau Lab are also to be brought even closer together in terms of content at Swissbau 2024, as MCH announces. The focus will be on imparting knowledge, with "discussing" (Focus) and "trying out" (Lab) being important cornerstones. Topics such as climate, energy, the circular economy, materials, collaboration and society will be highlighted.

With the new format Swissbau Inside in Hall 2.1, the trade fair is creating for the first time a platform all about interiors. Swissbau Inside offers suppliers of design products a stage for productions from the areas of kitchen, floor/wall/ceiling, lighting as well as office and contract furnishings. The Trend World Bathroom remains an integral part of Swissbau. Leading brands will be showing the latest products, concepts and designs for the bathroom of the future in Hall 2.2.

Needs-based offers for exhibitors

Anyone wishing to be present at Swissbau 2024 can choose from a wide range of participation options. The offers are deliberately modular so that exhibitors can plan their appearances individually and in line with their needs. For example, a presence over all four days of the trade fair is no longer mandatory. Instead, various offers can be booked by the day or even by the hour, for example for a customer aperitif. For exhibitors who want to give their innovation an additional boost, there is also a choice of a second appearance in the form of an innovation pitch or a presentation at a marketplace.

All participation opportunities are available at Swissbau Website to find.
