On 30 September 2021, we brought together an all-star panel of EU policymakers and business leaders to discuss what's the way forward in digitalising the European building sector.

Data-driven technologies open up new ways to ensure buildings are sustainable, ecological and consistently user-friendly throughout their entire life cycle from the design phase, the construction (where CO2 is already generated) until the operational use of the building.

As the European Commission looks to revise the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), it's never been more urgent to unlock the power of digital in lowering the footprint of our building stock - responsible of over a third of our carbon emissions.
