Be part of the future.
Smart buildings open up an exciting future sector for a wide variety of trades. The buildings of the future are intelligent, digitally networked and automated – with the aim of increasing comfort and safety while reducing energy consumption.
Intelligent and networked properties give us multidimensional access to living and working. But that also means intense challenges that we encounter on this path.
The digital and technological transformation, and with it the big trend towards smart buildings, is on the advance worldwide. The buildings of the future are intelligent, digitally networked and automated.
Corona intensifies this trend, because in times of distance all areas of life have been digitized. Today more and more people pay digitally and shop online, and the home has become a home office and learning center. What used to take several years now happens within a few months. This digitization fuels smart homes and connected buildings, and this development will continue after Corona.
The challenges that await us are diverse, complex and can only be mastered together. This is where our future forum comes in: We see ourselves as an incubator, catalyst and hub in the broad spectrum of building digitization. The aim is to build up a strong domestic, new field of strength.
Through networking and the joint, coordinated approach of providers and organizations along the entire value chain, we promote and develop the future market of connected buildings and jointly develop new business models.

The shortage of skilled workers is an opportunity for women
The shortage of skilled workers is slowing the European economy, while women are still mainly active in only five professional fields. Women are an important human resource that should be awakened. This creates a win-win situation: women earn more and become more independent, and sectors solve their skilled labor problem.
