Big Data in Construction - The next big thing or over-hyped?
​
Construction companies, some say, should prioritise investment based on areas where AI and Big Data have the biggest impact. Early movers are already setting the direction of the industry. At BWT Asia we examine which areas of construction AI can add the most value.
​
Praveen Tomy, APAC Head, Autodesk Construction Cloud
Country Focus: China- Why China? Why Now?
​China ranks as heavyweights in shaping built world tech in APAC, accounting for more than 60 percent of PropTech investment in the region. At BWT Asia, we put Chinese PropTech in the spotlight and look at the investment opportunities.
​
Juan Nieto, Asia Head, CEMEX Ventures
​
The evolution of CRE leadership - Half the space, double the experience!
​
The pendulum has swung to experience curation. But how do you measure workplace experience? At BWT Asia we look at views on the new role of the CRE Leader in a challenging environment of blended CRE, HR and IT.

14:55 / INTERACTIVE DISCUSSION GROUPS
BIM & Digital Twins - Getting Digital Twins/BIM firing as your first steps to success
​
BIM and Digital Twins are recognised as the key enablers, encompassing the digitalisation of the entire value chain. Yet they are severely under-used in Asian construction projects. At BWT Construction, we unpick the inhibitors and provide steps to implement BIM and Digital Twins as springboards for transformation.

Future Workplace - How changing technology and design is influencing the efficient office of the future
​
Office spaces are rapidly changing. The shift of workspace transformation has been accelerated by the coronavirus as occupiers, landlords and operators have been forced to rethink design and technology. At BWT Asia we examine how design and technology investments can increase employee productivity and protect employee health amidst the Post-Covid office design shake up.
