Returning in its ninth and second editions respectively, Build Eco Xpo (BEX) and Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE) Asia 2016, were successfully held in conjunction with International Green Building Conference (IGBC) 2016 during September 7-9 in Singapore at the Marina Bay Sands Expo & Convention Center.
More than 450 exhibiting companies representing 27 countries and around 12,000 visitors comprising green building experts, policy-makers, academics and built environment practitioners gathered at the annual event. More than 300 business meetings, exceeding US$125 million in business transactions, took place between industry decision-makers, consultants, manufacturers and distributors.
“Singapore is widely regarded as a liveable and sustainable city. But this achievement did not come by chance, and is the result of meticulous planning, foresight and more importantly multi-party and inter-country collaboration. We’ve seen how advancements in technology are disrupting the ecosystem, and the green building industry is of no exception. BEX and MCE Asia are therefore excellent trade platforms to encourage information sharing amongst industry practitioners,” said Tai Lee Siang, Chair, Board of Directors, World Green Building Council (WGBC).
Visitors to BEX and MCE Asia were treated to a well-curated showcase of green building and energy efficient solutions in the HVAC-R, plumbing technology and sanitary accessories, as well as solar energy for the building and construction industry.
