SAIE Lab | Live

SAIE Lab | Live events take place at SAIE Bologna from 7 to 10 October 2026, bringing the programme developed across Italy to the trade show through a series of high-impact events and activities.

SAIE Lab | Live Areas

A clearer, more focused and more valuable experience for visitors

SAIE Lab | Live Areas offer a new way to experience the trade show. Each area focuses on a specific segment of the construction industry, bringing together exhibitors, professional development, live demonstrations and networking opportunities in one dedicated space.

The aim is to make every visit to SAIE more focused and effective, helping designers, construction companies, technical professionals and industry operators quickly find the companies, technologies, products and content most relevant to their work.

The SAIE Lab | Live Areas build on the programme developed throughout the year through SAIE Lab | On Tour, a series of technical events held in cities across Italy.
SAIE Bologna brings these themes together in one major platform for discussion and exchange, giving visitors the opportunity to explore them in greater depth, meet leading companies, associations and industry professionals, and discover the latest solutions for the construction sector.

Each area is a dedicated hub for its sector

The six areas are designed to connect supply and demand, creating valuable opportunities for companies, professionals, associations and institutions to meet and build new relationships.
