(13 Feb 2017, Singapore) Returning in its tenth edition, the upcoming Build Eco Xpo (BEX) Asia 2017 will be held at Marina Bay Sands Expo and Convention Centre Singapore from 12 to 14 September. In celebration of BEX Asia’s decade-long journey in inspiring greener transformation among the building community across Southeast Asia, BEX Asia 2017 has lined up these exciting changes: the new Smart Solutions feature area; 
Technology-powered personalized recommendations and business meetings; as well as the launch of our online learning resource center, all of which are underpinned by a refreshed logo and theme. BEX Asia 2017 and its co-located events are expected to play host to more than 450 exhibiting companies internationally and over 12,000 trade visitors across Southeast Asia.
A Green Future Worth Building: Unveiling our new theme and logo for the 10th edition of BEX Asia
Against the background of rapid urbanization and buildings’ growing importance in driving a sustainable future, BEX Asia’s new theme is “A Green Future Worth Building” which is also accompanied by a refreshed logo. “We are proud to be celebrating BEX Asia’s decade-long journey as Southeast Asia’s pinnacle tradeshow where the regional green building community gather to source, learn, network and create real change. In partnership with key industry stakeholders, we will continue to deliver inspiring content and marketing leads to the sustainable building and construction community regionally, as well as build meaningful bridges within,” said Ms Louise Chua, Project Director of BEX Asia and Business Development Director, Reed Exhibitions.
Here’s to a smarter future
BEX Asia 2017 introduces a new Smart Solutions feature area showcasing the latest technologies that accelerate automation and provide actionable insights that drive greater efficiency and lower building management costs. It will cover a spectrum of interconnected segments including ‘Internet of Things’, building and lighting controls, HVAC optimization, access & security controls, electrical network controls and more. Exhibiting companies include Belimo Actuators, Delta Energy Systems, DEOS AG, Enovatek Energy, Graesslin, M5 FE Enterprise, Socomec Asia Pacific, Reliable Controls, Tridium Asia Pacific and more.
The next stage of business matching: Technology-powered, personalized recommendations and meetings
Instead of pushing the same product news generally to every pre-registered visitor, BEX Asia 2017 will deliver personalized recommendations of exhibitor products, based on data insights gleaned from visitors. The last edition of BEX Asia and the co-located MCE Asia, together facilitated a total of 373 business meetings onsite, which are expected to generate more than US$130 million in green building transactions.
Knowledge is power
In partnership with leading green building experts who spoke at BEX Asia’s complimentary Green View seminars, BEX Asia 2017 has launched the online Learning Resource Center where the building community can easily access complimentary industry content that help keep them abreast of the latest green building know-how and trends.
Converging the biggest brands across the globe
As Southeast Asia’s leading green building exhibition, BEX Asia 2017 has already secured the participation of green building giants like Big Ass Fans, Camfil, Kansai Paint, Nippon Paint and PAREX Group. Visitors will also get to see the latest cutting-edge technologies from AGC Asia Pacific, AAF, Ariston Thermo, ebm-papst and Reflex Winkelmann, which will be exhibiting at Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) Asia 2017, a co-located exhibition focusing on energy-efficient HVAC, Water and Solar Energy solutions. Pavilions representing Canada, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and more will also bring together an inspiring showcase of the most cutting edge technologies and capabilities from each market.
To advance further knowledge exchange, BEX Asia 2017 will once again offer the Green View seminar, a complimentary platform which brings together the brightest minds internationally to share their insights on latest trends and opportunities in Southeast Asia, actionable best practices and innovative solutions for building management in the tropics.
More updates on other activities celebrating BEX Asia’s 10th year anniversary will be announced in the lead up to the event.
