“Tech Lab: Construction” in European Industry 5.0 Summit

The Institute for Industry 5.0 and Technology Park Ljubljana invite professionals and the wider public to the workshop “Tech Lab: Construction,” taking place on 26 November 2025 from 8:00 to 9:45 at the Four Points by Sheraton Ljubljana Mons Hotel (Hall B), as part of the European Industry 5.0 Summit.

European industry is entering a period in which digital transformation is becoming the foundation of sustainability, productivity, and global competitiveness. The construction sector – as one of the key pillars of the economy – is no exception. Advanced technologies, particularly artificial intelligence, data platforms, and Industry 5.0 approaches, are already reshaping how buildings are designed, executed, managed, and renewed, while opening important opportunities for circular economy development, process optimisation, and reducing environmental impact.

During the workshop, you will gain insight into solutions that already today enable:

• smart design using advanced data models,

• AI-supported construction site management,

• process automation and advanced analytics,

• digital twins for monitoring and optimising the full lifecycle of built assets,

• development of circular business models,

• integrating construction with the principles of Industry 5.0, which place people, sustainability, and system resilience at the forefront.

The event will bring together technology experts, industry representatives, researchers, and innovators who will present how advanced technologies can address real-world challenges and create new business opportunities in practice.

What you will gain by attending:

• a clear overview of technologies already mature and ready for adoption in construction,

• practical insight into AI tools that increase efficiency, reduce costs, and improve safety,

• understanding of how circular models are transitioning from strategy into real implementation,

• opportunities to connect with experts leading the digital transformation of the construction sector in Slovenia and the EU.

The workshop is especially recommended for executives of construction companies, designers, engineers, BIM specialists, municipalities, investors, technology providers, development and research organisations, and anyone who wants to understand the role of construction in the emerging Industry 5.0 economy.

The draft programme, published on the official conference website HERE, already includes the first proposed speakers, with the list continuously updated. All additional conference information is available on the same page.

You are cordially invited!
