The Tomorrow.Building Forum Barcelona 2025 is a specialised public event exploring innovation in the built environment, from sustainable construction materials and energy-efficient design to smart building technologies and forward-looking urban planning. Organised by Fira de Barcelona, one of Europe's leading trade fair institutions, the forum takes place from 5–7 November 2025 and is co-located with the Smart City Expo World Congress, creating a powerful synergy between building-focused and city-wide innovation.
The forum recognises that buildings are the fundamental building blocks of smart cities, accounting for a significant share of urban energy consumption and carbon emissions. It brings together architects, engineers, property developers, urban planners, construction companies, and building technology providers to explore how the construction and real estate sectors can embrace innovation and contribute to more sustainable, liveable cities. Key themes include sustainable and circular construction methods that minimise environmental impact, smart building management systems that use IoT sensors and AI to optimise energy, comfort, and maintenance, modular and prefabricated construction techniques that reduce costs and construction timelines, urban planning and placemaking strategies that create vibrant, people-centred neighbourhoods, and PropTech innovations that are reshaping how buildings are designed, financed, and managed.
The co-location with SCEWC provides exceptional added value, allowing attendees to move seamlessly between building-specific and city-wide sessions and to connect with the broader smart city community.
This forum is particularly valuable for built environment professionals seeking to understand how their sector can contribute to and benefit from the smart city transition. Fira de Barcelona's expertise in organising world-class industry events ensures a high-quality programme attracting a specialist, deeply engaged international audience.
