Last week, Stockholmsmässan reported that two of the spring’s biggest events – Formex and Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair which were due to be held in January and February have been cancelled. Now the decision has also been taken to postpone Nordbygg from April 20-23, 2021 to April 26-29, 2022.
ECO-Betong from Swerock has been declared the winner of Nordbygg’s Gold Medal for 2020. The award is jointly backed by Nordbygg, industry magazine Byggindustrin and Svensk Byggtjänst. This year, the jury choose to recognize a product with a long history of constant development that could have a crucial impact on the future: climate-enhanced concrete, symbolized by ECO-Betong from Swerock.
Nordbygg has been moved to April 20-23, 2021. The decision has been taken in close consultation with Nordbygg’s partners in the construction and real estate industry.
Nordbygg, which was originally meant to take place last week, was initially shifted to the fall of this year, but has now been rescheduled for next year. The new date is April 20-23, 2021.
In the past month alone, a great deal
Stockholmsmässan is the first Swedish exhibition center to convert its entire fleet of vehicles to run on 100% renewable fuel. Using Triboron technology and filling the tank with vegetable oil will cut fuel consumption by 5%. This in turn will make Stockholmsmässan’s CO2 emissions 45 tonnes lower per year, thus meeting one of the exhibition center's sustainability targets for 2020.
New dates have finally been set for Nordbygg, which is moved to the September 29 – October 2, 2020. – We have received extremely good response and understanding regarding the decision to postpone Nordbygg. We look forward to implementing the fair and meet all industry colleagues this fall, says Peter Söderberg, Project Manager Nordbygg.
Nordbygg is seen by European actors in the construction sector as an increasingly important place to be. This year, one in five exhibitors is an international company.
This year, ventilation issues will have an even more expanded role at Nordbygg, when the industry organisation Svensk Ventilation (Swedish Ventilation) comes together with Svensk Automation (Swedish Automation) on the new stage - The Indoor Climate Arena.
With your office in your pocket, is there really any reason to leave home? Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair will feature the exhibition Re-defining the Office, about what it will take to keep the workplace relevant in a cloud-based reality. The exhibition is curated and designed by architecture firm Tengbom, which has over 10 years’ experience in office design.
On April 21, 2020, the doors to the housing and construction industry’s foremost meeting place in the Nordics will open. Over four days, more than 800 Swedish and foreign companies will show their latest products, solutions and services. Added to that are seminars and special arenas and events for different fields.
For more than 20 years, Nordbygg has gathered the actors in the construction and housing industry for a show of strength. The strength lies partly in the number of exhibitors, but also in the great width. Everyone, from the giants of the industry to small innovative new-comers and industry associations, choose Nordbygg to spread their news and acquire new knowledge.
With a little over six months until Nordbygg 2020, the preparations for the most important fair for the construction and housing industry are well under way. The program is continuously expanded and the exhibition area is 93 per cent booked.
Preparations for Nordbygg 2020 are in full swing and the goal is at least a big a success as the fair in 2018 was.
A recurring and appreciated feature of Nordbygg is the materials challenge New Eyes on ceramic tiles. It is a competition directed to Swedish architecture students and where the winning contribution is realised in full scale at Nordbygg.
The work on Nordbygg 2020 is in full swing. Sales of the exhibition area that remains are ongoing and at the same time the rest of the fair content is taking shape. Everything so that visitors and exhibitors get as much as possible out of it.
Nordbygg’s range is increasing and therefore also the relevance for actors outside the industry’s absolute core. The Project Group is working hard to incorporate current topics into the fair. The focus in 2018 on digital solutions for the construction and housing sector was successful and the concept will be further developed for 2020.
In October 2020, Stockholmsmässan will introduce Smart City – Sweden’s leading meeting place for smart cities and urban innovation. Transport solutions of the future, smart properties, digital transformation and a generally better and more sustainable urban environment are some of the topics that will be raised at seminars, workshops, conferences and exhibitions.
Nordbygg is a central market activity for many Nordic companies within the construction and housing industry. The in every way successful fair of 2018 has made many companies make early decisions to return when Nordbygg is back in a little over a year. Two of them are the tech-group Bemsiq and Svenska Fönster, one of Sweden´s leading window manufacturers.
Nordbygg 2018 was judged by exhibitors and visitors to be the best edition ever. The exhibitors especially appreciated a record international interest, something that confirms that the fair is the industry’s foremost in the Nordics and the Baltics. Right now, the Nordbygg team is working to make Nordbygg 2020, April 21 - 24, at least as appreciated.
Nordbygg 2018 was a success - in many ways. But the Project Manager Peter Söderberg and his team are not resting on their laurels, but working full-time with the planning of the next fair. In the content mix for Nordbygg 2020, there is among other things a continued investment in innovation elements.
With 48,000 visitors, 930 high-quality exhibitors and 250 well-visited seminars, Nordbygg 2018 was a success with both the public and the exhibitors. The arrangers are now looking forward to 2020 with confidence, in particular because more than 50 percent of the exhibitor space has already been booked.
