THE MILAN INTERNATIONAL BUILDING ALLIANCE: THE BUILDING AT THE CORE OF THE SUSTAINABLE REVOLUTION
MIBA-Milan International Building Alliance, the event that from 15 to 18 November 2023 will bring together four exhibitions – Global Elevator Exhibition (GEE), ME-MADE expo, SMART BUILDING EXPO, and SICUREZZA – has been presented in front of numerous institutional experts and representatives in Milan. The global proposal will show the synergy between fundamental compartments for building design, construction, and requalification.
Special attention is being paid in Europe to the reduction of the impact of buildings on the environment, with specific decarbonization targets, specifically to reach a 55% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. In the old continent, according to data from Energy&Strategy-Politecnico di Milano, 85% of buildings are over 20 years old and, at present, only 0.2% of buildings undergo deep renovation works each year and achieve an energy consumption reduction of at least 60%. In addition to that, 50% of the approximately 13.5 million buildings existing in Italy are over 50 years old.
According to ISTAT (the Italian National Institute of Statistics), the construction sector, driven by tax incentives, has been growing steadily for over a year, bringing a +1.4% growth in employment in the first three months of 2022.
This has opened up huge opportunities for all the markets involved, from design to materials, systems, and technologies. As a matter of fact, these works would push the improvement of buildings to meet new regulations and achieve European objectives by reducing the impact on the planet and energy consumption in favor of greater living comfort.
The Added Value of an Alliance
With MIBA events, Fiera Milano offers an opportunity to reflect on this ongoing revolution and grow the global markets. This is an important initiative at a time when renewed attention is being paid to the role of the building industry as a carrier of development, one that brings about concrete initiatives implemented to spur the evolution of the building sector and its green and sustainable transformation.
The synergy between these 4 events, which are the expression of the various markets that are called to interact and work together for the creation of efficient buildings, is the format through which the players of this industry will be able to discover the proposals of the most qualified companies: MIBA’s objective is to connect as much as 1,000 companies with the professionals of the sector.
