Exhibitors and visitors alike considered the recently concluded 44th CONSTRUMA International Building Trade Exhibition and the 14th HOMEDesign Home Creation Trade Exhibition a success. Nearly 30,000 people visited the country\u2019s most important domestic showcase of the industry over the five days at the HUNGEXPO Budapest Congress and Exhibition Center.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A central issue for the period ahead is how domestic investment activity in the construction industry can be maintained and further expanded. This was stated by Csaba Gondola, State Secretary for Circular Economy and Climate Policy at the Ministry of Energy, at the opening of the exhibition, adding that, as the changing global environment is posing increasing challenges to the sector, it is particularly important that, through the expansion of domestic capacities, investments should strengthen the domestic economy to the greatest possible extent. The government provides the framework, but implementation rests with the sector. CONSTRUMA provides exactly the professional forum where these solutions meet practical application, the State Secretary concluded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bal\u00e1zs Szil\u00e1gyi, Exhibition Director, highlighted that the key words of this year\u2019s CONSTRUMA are efficiency, digitalisation and competitiveness \u2013 that is, the direction in which the entire sector is heading. The exhibition is fundamentally about the construction industry, but the ultimate aim of construction is always the home. \u201cToday, home is not only an aesthetic or functional question, but increasingly also an energy and sustainability question. This is primarily what the CONSTRUMA and HOMEDesign exhibitions are about,\u201d Bal\u00e1zs Szil\u00e1gyi added<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this year\u2019s exhibition, 340 exhibitors from 19 countries took part<\/strong>. In addition to Hungarian exhibitors, European, Asian and American companies were also present. The number of visitors reached 30,000. Exhibitors highlighted that, alongside the professional programmes, the weekend \u201cpublic days\u201d were also very successful. Besides the wide range of exhibitors, this was primarily thanks to crowd-pulling attractions such as the Scaffolding Construction Competition, the giant mock-up of the 130-year-old Liberty Bridge, created with the involvement of carpentry professionals from the Association of Roof Builders, and the bricklaying robot presenting the future of construction industry automation, which Wienerberger brought to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CONSTRUMA \u2013 Professional Programmes and Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professional programmes were again given special emphasis at the exhibition: many registered for and took part in the forums organised on the future of and opportunities in the construction industry. Nearly full to capacity on the opening day was the international conference entitled \u201cHome in Europe \u2013 Housing Dialogue\u201d on current issues relating to the housing situation, organised by The National Federation of Hungarian Building Contractors (\u00c9VOSZ). A number of further training courses were also held during CONSTRUMA. The further training courses of the Hungarian Chamber of Architects and the Hungarian Chamber of Engineers were again important meeting points for professionals this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The guided professional tours<\/strong> also supported the orientation of those working in the construction industry, providing an opportunity for visitors to become directly acquainted with the exhibitors\u2019 innovations and solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most innovative products, solutions and services were also awarded by a professional jury this year: the CONSTRUMA Awards<\/a> were presented at the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
