DigiTwin 2026
The Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) once again successfully hosted the DigiTwin Conference, focusing on artificial intelligence, digitalization, sustainability, and the innovations shaping the future of the construction industry. The event provided a common forum for industry professionals, researchers, and educators to explore the latest technological trends, practical experiences, and future development opportunities.
The professional program addressed the current challenges facing the construction industry, the renewal of civil engineering education, and the practical applications of artificial intelligence. Participants gained insights into AI-supported design and decision-making solutions, as well as educational developments that leverage the potential of generative AI to enhance engineering education.
In the second half of the conference, participants took part in a World Café workshop, where representatives from academia and industry engaged in discussions on the future of digitalization, sustainability, and AI applications in the construction sector. The workshop fostered new professional connections and collaboration opportunities, further strengthening the dialogue between the university and industry.
The DigiTwin 2026 Conference attracted strong interest at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, BME.
László Koji, President of ÉVOSZ, delivered a presentation on the current state and future development opportunities of the Hungarian construction industry.
Tamás Lovas presented the Faculty of Civil Engineering's educational development strategy and its international study programmes.
At the conference, Balázs Móczár presented practical examples illustrating how generative artificial intelligence can be effectively applied in higher education.
During the World Café workshop, participants from academia and industry explored together the opportunities for applying digitalization and artificial intelligence in the construction sector.
