Participate in breakout sessions, workshops and networking and hear the latest trends and visions for the future from industry experts.
Hear about inspiring and interesting customer projects within the industry.
We've chosen 3 focus areas for this year's agenda to highlight sustainability & circularity, collaboration and productivity.
We dive in to how the building and infrastructure industry can have a more circular mindset: before, during and after a building’s lifetime. Which requirements can and should be put early on in project and how do we secure that we keep the original targets and how can we (re-) use more sustainable materials?
Let's find out!
With increased demands ranging from financial targets to sustainability requirements, collaboration within projects is becoming more and more important. How can we in a secure and compliant way share data? What if we want to reuse data from one project to another? What leadership is needed?
Let’s find out!
Driven by digitalisation we have access to a plethora of tools and yes, we have become more efficient. The next step is to ensure we not only work smarter within a given process but how we can design new ways of working to become more productive. Is it now time to take the next step on the BIM maturity curve?

The architect’s responsibility to bring sustainability into the construction industry
The building and construction industry accounts for approximately 40 percent of total greenhouse gas emissions. There is thus no doubt that sustainability is the industry's most important issue and will remain so in the future as well. This involves more than energy-efficient buildings and environmentally friendly material choices. We must have a circular understanding of the buildings, and here is where the architects both have a responsibility as well as an opportunity. How can architects step into the breach to create a more sustainable architecture with a cradle-to-cradle perspective. And how can we lead the owners/construction clients in the same direction?
Snøhetta
Solutions for the makers of a zero-carbon future
The built environment is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions where the role of building materials is increasing. Mikko and Panu will open up the targets of Symetri and One Click LCA partnership and discuss how to help the designers to drive decarbonization and how to reach the requirements set by regulations and green building certifications efficiently.

Session: Think first, then act – architecture for a better tomorrow Speaker: Malin Sjölund Olsson, Arkitekterna Krook & Tjäder AB
When the architect is part of the project early on, when a project take off, we see a big opportunity to create a greater impact in terms of sustainability. It is in the early phases we need to do the right thing and have the courage, also in times of uncertainty. The designs we create today will become a reality when the sustainability requirements are much higher than they are today. It is also in the early phases we can impact the most and when you can reduce the cost of implementation the most. The focus of the talk will be on sharing experiences from working with digital tools in early phases and how you change a process. How did we use to work, struggles today and what do we see coming? When taking new steps it is equally important to have access to the right tools as it is to be creative together, co-create and share insights in a more analogue manner.

Session: Reaching An Open Approach to Technology. Speaker: Andy Watts, Grimshaw
The dynamic between technology and design has shifted and will continue to shift, but this evolving relationship is not always seamless. Challenges of adoption, integration and collaboration, can be tackled through open dialogue that enables change and works with the transformative qualities of technology. Drawing on experience from Grimshaw, as well as wider industry conversations, Andy Watts will provide thoughts and insight on how the industry needs to work together to embrace technology.

Session: The Way We (should) Work. Speaker: Bridget White and Knut Ramstad, Nordic Office of Architecture
In this talk, Bridget and Knut will share their thoughts on how new technologies can facilitate workflows for the future of design and construction, illustrated by current examples of advanced collaboration, data-driven design, decision-making, circular economy, and communication processes. The AEC industry is now facing challenges that should inspire all actors to shift the way they work radically. Technology should enable our project teams to deliver ensured, informed projects with seamless collaboration across platforms, better connection to people and data, and provide the digital tools we need to validate our decision-making processes through analysis and visualisation.

Session: How to scale your investment in Technology. Pontus Bengtson, Autodesk.
We all know that buying a license or signing up for a subscription is the easy part when it comes to investing in technology. Then, the hard part begins with implementation, and achieving return on investment. Pontus will discuss different approaches for scaling and implementing technology drawing on his experience as Head of Project Technology at WSP and from his current role at Autodesk working with customers. Pontus will also share his thoughts on manoeuvring in the paradox of using global out of the box tools while harnessing his expertise in fulfilling specific local needs. Finally, he will address, a perhaps somewhat controversial thought around how organisations use their experts and superusers in implementation work.
Autodesk
Session: Skanska – Present and future deliveries. Speaker: Linn Areno, Skanska
New digital technologies create new opportunities for the construction industry. Are we really utilising them to their full potential and levering them for improved deliveries? By developing the digital deliveries to our projects, we will get both more accurate and high-quality models and data. In this session we will focus on how a higher standard of delivery gives us an added value from a couple of perspectives. We will look into the importance of having accurate data in the model from start, correct materials specifications early on and perhaps most important that teams feel proud about their work. We believe that this in turn will make it easier to see the full picture and deliver on our sustainability targets. Is now the time for our business models to fully reflect a digital first reality?

Congratulations to Kristoffer Flygare at Bravida and LARK Landskap AS.
This person has a great BIM engagement regarding the Förbifart Stockholm project. Being an MEP company utilizing the BIM information and technology in order to achieve greater results and more effective workflow. An open thinker who is not afraid to go outside of the box.
This company decided that they would take a leap from designing in 2D to full BIM. To ensure better collaboration in projects, to win more projects – and to have more fun at work. Looking back the past 2-3 years, this is exactly what they have achieved.
In one of their largest projects ever, the company showed courage when they chose to present its concept to the roof garden at Økern Portal directly through the 3D model. The design created enthusiasm and ownership with the Builder who therefore chose their proposal over the original vision.
We will publish more partners continously.
Nordic BIM Summit 2023 is a hybrid event. Network with other professionals in the building and infra industry by participating live in Stockholm or in Oslo.
