For its next edition in 2027, INTERMAT places sustainability at the heart of its value proposition — not as a constraint, but as a driver of innovation, operational efficiency and value creation across the entire construction industry.

Sustainability highlighted with the three pillars

A strategic direction to support market evolution

Sustainability has become a structuring pillar in the development of the construction and civil engineering sector. It addresses concrete challenges related to energy performance, resource optimisation, operating cost control and alignment with the expectations of both public and private clients.

In 2027, INTERMAT has chosen to make sustainability its central theme, supporting companies in the progressive integration of sustainable solutions that are compatible with the economic and operational realities of construction sites. This approach is built around three pillars: environmental, social and economic sustainability.

Concrete solutions driven by industry players

Manufacturers, equipment suppliers and solution providers are already developing offerings that combine productivity, profitability and controlled environmental impact. INTERMAT 2027 will showcase these responses through several key levers.

Progressive decarbonisation of equipment and construction sites

Alternative powertrains (electric, hybrid, hydrogen), improved energy efficiency of machinery and intelligent energy management solutions help reduce operating costs while meeting market expectations and tender requirements.

Optimisation of materials and resources

Reuse, recycling, optimised logistics and innovative materials contribute to improved control of material flows and costs. Exhibitors will present solutions that can be directly integrated into building and civil engineering operations.

Digitalisation and performance management

Digital tools — including BIM, site monitoring platforms, predictive maintenance and energy data — are becoming key drivers of decision-making and competitiveness. INTERMAT will highlight solutions delivering measurable gains in productivity, quality and sustainability.

Skills development and workforce attractiveness

Sustainability also relies on skills development, safety and improved working conditions. INTERMAT will showcase training, support and knowledge transfer initiatives that are essential to business performance.

 

INTERMAT: a business- and solution-oriented trade show

INTERMAT’s strength lies in its ability to connect exhibitors’ offerings with concrete market needs. In 2027, the sustainability theme will be reflected through:

  • demonstration areas showcasing equipment and solutions in real operating conditions;
  • a conference programme dedicated to sector-specific challenges, business models and use cases within the industry areas;
  • a strong focus on innovation through the INTERMAT Innovation Awards and the Start-up Village, fostering industrial partnerships and business development;
  • dedicated networking sessions and business meetings for clients, local authorities and major accounts.

Bringing supply and demand together

INTERMAT 2027 brings together exhibitors offering practical, market-ready solutions and decision-making visitors seeking high-performance tools to evolve their practices. Sustainability thus becomes a differentiation factor, a competitiveness criterion and a driver of growth.


Building tomorrow’s solutions together

By placing sustainability at the core of its 2027 edition, INTERMAT reaffirms its role as a leading business platform for the construction and civil engineering sector. The trade show supports stakeholders in identifying, assessing and adopting value-creating solutions aligned with the economic and technical challenges of today’s and tomorrow’s construction projects.
