BCT Expo (Building Construction Technology Expo), Southeast Asia’s exhibition and conference for the building, construction and mining industries, returns for its sixth edition under the theme ‘Empowering Net Zero in Construction and Mining.’
Taking place from 16 to 18 September 2026 at the Impact Exhibition and Convention Centre in Bangkok, Thailand, the event will bring together industry professionals, technology providers and key stakeholders to exchange knowledge, establish new business connections, and discover technologies and solutions that can improve productivity while supporting the industry’s transition to a low-carbon future.
Citing a report by Krungsri Research, Impact Exhibition Management Co Ltd, the event’s organiser, noted that Thailand’s construction sector continues to expand alongside ongoing infrastructure investment. The report found that total construction investment rose 6.1% year-on-year to THB 365 billion in the first quarter of 2026, with overall construction investment forecast to grow by around 2.5–2.7% in 2026, supported in part by major infrastructure projects.
For the industry, however, growth is only part of the picture. Businesses are also facing increasing pressure to manage costs, improve operational efficiency and prepare for the transition to a low-carbon economy.
Net-zero target
The shift towards a low-carbon economy is increasingly shaping how businesses plan for the future, said Impact. The company pointed out that Thailand’s move to bring its net-zero target forward from 2065 to 2050, as highlighted by SCB EIC, is expected to accelerate the need for industries to align with changing global market requirements, particularly carbon-intensive sectors and construction materials such as steel and cement.
At the same time, the transition is creating opportunities for technologies and solutions in clean energy, energy efficiency, recycling and waste management. This direction is closely aligned with BCT Expo 2026’s theme, ‘Empowering Net Zero in Construction and Mining,’ which puts practical technologies, industry knowledge and business collaboration at the centre of the discussion.
This year, BCT Expo will feature products, technologies, innovations and solutions from more than 150 brands from Thailand and Southeast Asia, covering construction machinery, mining machinery and equipment, building materials and construction technology, as well as AI, robotics, smart construction, environmental technologies and sustainable solutions.
In addition, the event will mark its first strategic partnership with Thailand’s Department of Primary Industries and Mines (DPIM). As a strategic partner, DPIM will present its Circular Economy Pavilion, showcasing innovations, technologies and prototype projects that demonstrate circular economy practices, with a focus on translating industry knowledge into practical applications and promoting more efficient resource use.
Also making its debut is the Built Environment & Construction Lighting Pavilion, featuring lighting technologies for building, construction and industrial applications from manufacturers and technology developers from Zhejiang Province, China. The pavilion will offer Thai businesses an opportunity to meet manufacturers directly and explore solutions designed to improve operational and energy efficiency.
Various conferences and workshops
Beyond the exhibition floor, BCT Expo 2026 will host more than 30 free-to-attend conference and workshop sessions led by industry experts and organisations including PTT, SCG Building & Living Care Consulting, Ritta, SCB EIC and the Council of Engineers Thailand.
Main industry topics will range from net-zero construction, carbon footprint management, green building to digital construction, BIM and the application of AI in engineering, together with engineering and workplace safety training designed to equip professionals with knowledge they can apply in their day-to-day work.
BCT Expo 2026 is expected to bring together more than 4,000 industry professionals, providing a focused environment for contractors, project owners, engineers, architects, mining professionals, manufacturers, suppliers and decision-makers to meet and build new connections.
A business matching programme will also enable buyers and participating companies to arrange one-to-one meetings to explore potential business opportunities and partnerships during the show.
