Digital Twin | BIM World: Supporting the market through its evolutions and industry transitions

To reflect the evolution of the market and its uses, BIM World has progressively broadened its themes:

• 2019: Integration of Smart Building,
• 2021: structured focus on the ecological and energy transition with the "Low Carbon" area,
• 2022: Launch of the Digital Twins Meetings.

A logical development which leads the event to now bear a double name: Digital Twin | BIM World, to affirm its global positioning on the digital transformation of the sector.

A place to develop and consolidate projects

The event brings together a unique ecosystem thanks to:

• to a rich program combining feedback from experience, field results, exhibitor innovations, and strategic interventions from experts and decision-makers.
• to regional and international pavilions (Normandy Pavilion, Canadian Pavilion, etc.)
• to thematic spaces co-created with key partners:

Village Construction Tech, sponsored by CCCA-BTP, is structured around industry mentors and an ecosystem of nearly 60 startups. It showcases tools directly applicable to real-world challenges: performance, organization, costs, low-carbon transition, and asset management. The program includes pitches, networking, a TV studio, and a materials library connecting innovative materials, digital data, and practical applications.

BuildingSmart France Forum

Autodesk DNA Village brings together an ecosystem of partners, plug-in publishers, and complementary solutions developed around Autodesk technologies. It highlights innovations designed to enhance user experience, optimize workflows, and address concrete business needs throughout the project lifecycle.

Digital Twin Pavilion of the Territories

DC World Space. It highlights solutions related to the electrification of uses, direct current, and energy flexibility applied to buildings and territories. Conceived as a space for convergence between digital technology, energy, and smart cities, it explores new models of energy management, network optimization, and data integration for more resilient, energy-efficient, and intelligent cities and infrastructures.

With over 10.000 participants and 250 exhibitors, Digital Twin | BIM World has become the essential event for understanding digital uses, identifying solutions and initiating new projects.

Innovate to adapt

For 10 years, Digital Twin | BIM World has been supporting the ecosystem in its digital transition: from BIM to digital twins, via AI, IoT, BMS, simulation or data modeling.

But the transformation continues. Economic, environmental, and regulatory constraints now require us to accelerate:

• the industrialization of practices,
• cost and performance optimization,
• strengthening sustainability,
• intelligent management of structures.

Regardless of the terms — BIM, Smart Building, Construction Tech, digital twin — digital technology has become the backbone of the industry.

The balancing act: acculturating and accelerating

The challenge remains twofold:

• to acculturate and support those starting out, by demonstrating the practical value of the technologies,
• to advance the most advanced with cutting-edge data solutions: AI, collaborative platforms, cybersecurity, IoT, GIS...

To train and unite in order to progress

Training — both initial and continuing — is a major lever for supporting these
transformations.

But the role of clients remains essential: project owners, asset managers, developers... They are the ones who structure demand, create sectoral momentum and drive the dynamics needed to meet climate and societal challenges.

An international event

Digital Twin | BIM World also takes place every year in Munich and Copenhagen, reinforcing its European dimension and its role as a platform for exchanges between stakeholders.
