Swissbau 18-21 January 2022

EditorialRoom 10th December 2021

Swissbau, one of Europe’s leading trade fairs for the construction and real estate industry, brings together Switzerland’s combined decision-making competence – all concentrated at a single point. Every two years, Swissbau provides a source of inspiration, a discussion platform and an innovation radar for the entire Swiss planning, construction and real-estate industry.

Swissbau comprises the three elements of a multi-industry trade fair (exhibitors with their products, services and content/stories), Swissbau Focus (event and networking platform) and the Swissbau Innovation Lab (digital transformation platform). These formats are subject to constant further development over the full lifecycle of a building in cooperation with leading partners and exhibitors.
