A.I.M.I. (Associazione Italiana Manutentori Installatori) participates in SAIE with a space in which mini-conferences are carried out with a focus on the world of thermohydraulics and on the integration between buildings and plants: from the novelties introduced by the new standards, to leak tests, to radiant systems. A rich panel of content, thanks to the collaboration with some partner companies, which also exhibited some products on the topics discussed.
A dedicated path exploring digitalisation, technological innovation, parametric design, digital transformation and artificial intelligence, key drivers shaping the future of construction.
This Arena features a programme of events focused on artificial intelligence, digital construction management, BIM, digital twins and the latest technologies for design and construction sites.
An exhibition area dedicated to the topics of digitization and BIM featuring companies coordinated by ASSOBIM.
ASSOBIM runs a series of technical insights with its members to promote the spread of BIM. Relevant topics include: integration between BIM and advanced surveying and data processing technologies; BIM for project computation; interoperability between different software platforms; and BIM for design: infrastructural, plant engineering, structural, and architectural..
AIST, the Italian Technical Software Association organized a series of conferences and technical insights at SAIE with the involvement of member companies. Educational moments dedicated to: designers, engineers, construction companies, public agencies and industry technicians.
Codis is organizing the 2026 edition of DIARS, the event dedicated to diagnostics applied to restoration and structural renovation, as part of SAIE. Exhibition spaces, technical training, and practical demonstrations will be offered at this event, which will explore technical issues related to structural diagnostics with all categories involved in the design and implementation of interventions on existing buildings.
A dedicated space focused on the digital transformation of the construction industry, process innovation and the development of open BIM standards.
IBIMI buildingSMART Italia will also present the new BIMopenForum format: an open and interactive space where visitors can explore the Association’s activities and initiatives supporting the digital transformation of the construction value chain.
The exhibition area designed to meet the new demands generated by the launch of construction projects funded by the PNRR and the BONUS building incentives, dedicated to manufacturers and distributors of machinery, equipment, and technologies for construction sites: from earthmoving to lifting, from demolition to drilling, and from quarry and construction site vehicles to road vehicles.
The path that focuses on the person and the development of the skills of building and construction operators. Thanks to the collaboration with strategic corporate partners, associations, national bodies and training schools, moments of demonstration, training, awarding and sharing of excellence in the Italian territory will be organized to broaden the vision of the construction world by making culture on construction issues.
This Arena features a programme of events focused on energy efficiency, indoor air quality, living comfort, innovative materials and solutions for more sustainable buildings.
Ediltrophy, the masonry competition involving the best construction schools in Italy, organized by FORMEDIL (National Agency for Professional Training in Construction) in collaboration with IIPLE and SAIE. The national final will take place at SAIE on Saturday, October 10, 2026, where the winners of the junior (apprentices) and senior (masters) categories will be awarded.
The award that the construction workers’ social security fund system gives annually to companies, workers, and consultants who are ambassadors of positive values for the bilateral construction system.
