BATIMAT, the international trade show for the building industry, returns for its 2026 edition at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, from 28 September to 1 October. Under the theme "Construction in motion," this unmissable event brings together professionals from across the sector for four days of networking, conferences, and workshops addressing the industry's major transformations.
A Show Reimagined Around Three Pillars
The 2026 program is structured around three key pillars:
- Rethink construction : new methods and tools, digitalisation and data management, responsibility and governance across the professions
- Restore the existing : building renovation and performance, circular economy and reuse, preserving and passing on heritage
- Reimagine the model : committed architecture and responsible design, new uses and ways of living, stories, culture and generations
New this year: all sectors of the building industry are represented across 6 halls, featuring new themed villages dedicated to structural works, aluminium, and electrical, alongside 3 halls dedicated to Equipbaie for the joinery and closing systems sectors. New conference stages aligned with current topics and market trends will also feature, as part of an enhanced visitor experience with networking areas, guided tour routes, social moments, and immersive exhibitions.
A Rich Conference Program
With over 1,000 speakers, 450 talks, and 14 themed stages, BATIMAT remains a key destination for professionals to learn and connect. The flagship conferences Batitalks, Renotalks, and Architalks are back, alongside specialized workshops led by experts to address attendees' technical and specific questions.
Innovation Awards: A Confirmed Success
The Construction Tech® space continues to showcase innovative start-ups shaping the buildings of tomorrow. The Innovation Awards, which recognise the most innovative solutions presented at Interclima, BATIMAT, Idéobain, and Renodays, confirm their strong appeal: 278 submissions were received in 2026, up 21% compared to the previous edition.
BATIMAT 2026 is a must-attend event for anyone looking to stay informed on current and future innovations and to apply practical solutions today to improve quality of life and performance across the sector.
