Digital transformation and infrastructure at Expo Real 2026

Overview

The Expo Real 2026 trade fair in Munich, which drew over 42,000 participants and 1,777 exhibitors, centered on the real estate market’s transition toward digital transformation and integrated infrastructure.

While regional entities like Heidelberg, Mannheim, Dresden, Osnabrück, and Solingen presented various urban development and investment projects, the event highlighted broader industry challenges. These include high construction costs, difficult financing conditions, and complex regulatory requirements.

Technological advancement remains a primary theme, specifically regarding the use of digital data for property planning, management, and maintenance. Discussions focused heavily on artificial intelligence, decarbonization, and energy supply. A new focus area, ‘InfrastructureNow’, addressed the convergence of real estate with energy grids, data centers, and social infrastructure.

Regional presence was significant, with the Ruhrgebiet maintaining the largest collective stand to showcase industrial site reuses and urban development. Local municipalities, such as Dorsten, also utilized the platform to promote commercial spaces and business investment opportunities.
