The International Built Environment Week (IBEW) 2025 commenced today at the Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands, Singapore, bringing together over 200 organisations, industry experts, and startups. Spearheaded by BCA International, in partnership with RX Singapore, the event aims to foster innovation, expertise, and sustainability within the built environment sector.
The IBEW Expert Series, under the theme “Today’s Professional, Tomorrow’s Expert,” is a key feature, offering sessions on prefab efficiency, carbon emissions tracking, and AI applications in Building Information Modelling (BIM). Tobias Zimmer of Camfil highlighted the importance of the event, stating, “IBEW continues to be an important platform for exchanging ideas and showcasing solutions that can address pressing challenges in the built environment.”
BEX Asia 2025, the anchor exhibition, showcases digitalisation, sustainability, and operational efficiency. Notable exhibitors include Doxa Holdings International, Oracle Corporation Singapore, and Signify Singapore. Edmund Ng, CEO of Doxa Holdings, emphasised the importance of financial security in construction, saying, “Construction works best when everyone wins.”
The event also features the CORENET X Industry Seminar, which introduces Singapore’s new digital platform for building approvals, mandatory from 1 October 2025 for projects over 30,000sqm. This platform aims to streamline approvals and reduce costs.
Strategic partnerships are also in focus, with BCA International signing an MoU with Bridge Data Centres to promote sustainable data centres. Additionally, Singapore Polytechnic and the Singapore Institute of Architects are collaborating to enhance architectural talent.
IBEW 2025 serves as a dynamic hub for stakeholders to engage in technology showcases, knowledge exchange, and strategic collaboration, driving the future of the built environment.
