• BCT Expo 2026 Puts Net Zero at the Heart of Construction & Mining

    15 September 2026

    150+ Global Brands, Smart Technologies and Low-Carbon Solutions Set to Shape the Industry’s Sustainable Future

    BANGKOK, September 11, 2026 – IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd., together with its public- and private-sector partners, has announced its full readiness for Building Construction Technology Expo 2026 (BCT Expo 2026), a leading regional exhibition and business platform for the building, construction and mining industries in Southeast Asia. Now in its sixth consecutive edition, BCT Expo 2026 will be held under the theme “Empowering Net Zero in Construction & Mining”, highlighting the industry’s transition toward a low-carbon future and supporting the development of more sustainable construction and mining practices in Thailand and across the region. The event will take place from September 16–18, 2026, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. at Hall 7, IMPACT Exhibition and Convention Center, Muang Thong Thani.

    Mr. Loy Joon How, General Manager of IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd., said the preparations for BCT Expo 2026 are well underway across all key areas, from the exhibition floor and technology showcase to industry conferences and professional training programmes.

    “BCT Expo 2026 is fully prepared to serve as a regional platform connecting industry professionals, technology providers, experts and decision-makers. This year, the exhibition will bring together technologies and solutions from more than 150 leading brands worldwide, alongside in-depth conferences and professional training programmes. We expect to welcome more than 4,000 industry professionals, experts and decision-makers to exchange knowledge, develop business networks and explore new technologies and solutions that can support the construction and mining industries in achieving sustainable growth.”

    “The exhibition comes at a time when Thailand’s construction sector continues to expand. According to Krungsri Research, Thailand’s construction investment grew by 6.1% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, reaching approximately THB 365 billion, while full-year growth is projected at around 2.5–2.7%, driven in part by major infrastructure projects. At the same time, the country’s Net Zero target for 2050 is expected to accelerate the transformation of industrial sectors. According to SCB EIC, carbon-intensive construction materials, particularly steel and cement, will face increasing pressure to adopt more environmentally responsible production processes and technologies.”

    Mr. Panotsan Suchayanon, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Primary Industries and Mines (DPIM), highlighted the importance of sustainable resource management and the circular economy in supporting the transformation of the industrial sector.

    “DPIM places strong emphasis on the efficient and sustainable management of raw materials and mineral resources for the industrial sector. Advancing the circular economy can improve resource efficiency, reduce waste and help Thailand’s construction and mining industries respond more effectively to global environmental challenges.”

    Mr. Qirui Zhong, General Manager of Zoomlion Heavy Industry (Thailand) Co., Ltd., one of the exhibitors at BCT Expo 2026, said:

    “Zoomlion is committed to bringing world-class construction machinery and technologies to the Thai and regional markets, with solutions designed to enhance operational efficiency while reducing environmental impact. We are proud to contribute to the transformation of Thailand’s and the region’s construction industry toward a more sustainable Net Zero future.”
