BAU

BAU Munich is one of the most important trade fairs for the commercial and residential construction industry. The event is held once every two years in Messe Munich. Returning on 13 - 15 January 2021, BAU will run as an online event.

More than 2200 exhibitors from some 45 countries showcase advanced techniques, applications and materials at BAU. Over 250,000 professionals involved in planning, building and design will attend the event. BAU 2021 will highlight future-oriented concepts and solutions related to smart building and building automation.

The expo gathers under one roof manufacturers, planners, investors and representatives of the trade, research, education, interior and exterior construction sectors. There is a prominent presence of architects, building and fitting-out traders and suppliers as well as building companies and developers. According to a survey administered at the latest edition, exhibitors at BAU are especially interested in the German and European markets with emphasis on Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, UK, the Benelux and Scandinavian countries. The results also show a rising interest in Asia, North America, Oceania and Australia as target and sales markets.

Impressed by the product display, internationality and diversity of the trade fair, many professionals consider BAU in Munich a must-visit event. It is focused on innovation and sustainable approach towards the challenges and developments in the related sectors. By providing a functional platform for investment and exchange of ideas and know-how, BAU is one of the driving forces behind the building and construction industry of tomorrow. Each year, the comprehensive supporting programme reflects the current themes at the exhibition. The events include expert forums, shows, guided tours and awards. The specifics of BAU 2021 Munich’s programme will be released later on.

Just a few months before its start the BAU organisers announced a reworking of the upcoming 2021 format due tot he COVID-19 pandemic. Initially intended to run as a condensed hybrid event, BAU 2021 was ultimately converted into a fully digital edition - BAU ONLINE. It will feature online exhibitor sessions and a rich programme of streamed and recorded talks and discussions.
