THE FUTURE IS
ALREADY UNDER
CONSTRUCTION.

China’s leading technology cities are rapidly reshaping the built environment through advances in hardware, artificial intelligence, construction technology and property technology.

In this session, AAL INNOVATION will introduce key Chinese innovation hubs and explore the companies, technologies and market dynamics driving their growth. We will look at where opportunities are emerging for international collaboration, product adoption and cross-border partnerships in the AEC sector.

This session is for built-environment professionals, investors, developers, innovators and anyone interested in understanding China’s evolving ConTech and PropTech landscape.

Discover how BIMFACE helps teams build, extend and launch digital tools for the built environment. This session introduces BIMFACE as an open BIM platform for turning drawings and models into practical, scalable applications.

We will explore how BIMFACE can support a more connected workflow across BIM models, project information and digital services—helping developers, consultants and technology teams create applications tailored to their own needs.

Join this session if you are interested in BIM platforms, digital construction, model-based collaboration, application development or more efficient ways to work with engineering data.

China’s robotics innovators are moving beyond pilots and prototypes to real-world deployment across construction, manufacturing, logistics and the wider built environment.

This session looks at the development of robotics in China, with a focus on the technologies that are improving productivity, addressing labour constraints and supporting safer, more efficient on-site work. AAL INNOVATION will share examples of how robotics solutions are being tested, adopted and scaled in practical industry settings.

Join if you are interested in construction robotics, automation, intelligent machinery and the future of on-site operations.

AI content-generation tools are changing how architects and design teams visualise ideas, develop concepts and communicate with clients. This session explores the growing ecosystem of accessible AI tools helping professionals in Mainland China create design content faster and more efficiently.

We will look at how generative AI can support early-stage ideation, architectural visuals, design communication and creative workflows—while also considering where human judgement and design expertise remain essential.

This session is designed for architects, designers, creative teams, developers and anyone exploring practical AI applications for design and communication.

AI is helping building owners and facility-management teams move from reactive operations to more informed, data-driven decision-making.

This session explores how AI can support facility management and energy optimisation across building portfolios—from identifying operational inefficiencies and monitoring performance to improving maintenance planning and reducing energy consumption.

Join this session to discover how intelligent tools can help create more efficient, responsive and sustainable building operations for owners, operators and occupiers.

AI is beginning to transform how engineering teams prepare documentation, develop repetitive design outputs and coordinate project delivery.

In this session, AAL INNOVATION will explore how Chinese enterprises are applying AI and automation to autogenerate engineering designs and documentation. We will discuss the potential for faster workflows, more consistent outputs and improved delivery efficiency—while highlighting the importance of technical validation and human oversight.

This session is relevant for engineers, designers, contractors, BIM teams, technology providers and built-environment professionals interested in automated design workflows.

Tendering is often time-intensive: teams must review large volumes of documents, identify requirements, prepare responses and coordinate input from multiple stakeholders.

This session explores how Chinese enterprises are applying AI to streamline bidding and tendering workflows—from document parsing and requirement extraction to drafting, review and response preparation. We will discuss where AI can reduce repetitive work, improve consistency and help teams focus more time on commercial and strategic decisions.

Join if you work in procurement, bidding, construction, engineering, project delivery or business development and want to explore practical AI applications for tender processes.
