With displays and demonstrations, talks, networking, market analysis and the “potential of major construction projects”, INTERMAT Paris 2018 offers a new and exhaustive range focussing on innovation, in response to the challenges faced by all the players in this ecosystem.
INTERMAT PARIS 2018 A new organisation in tune with supply and demand |
A sector offering highlighted through four hubs of expertise
With its new sector layout, INTERMAT shines a light on the industry’s equipment, solutions and techniques, optimises the visitor experience and places innovation centre stage. The show is now divided into four hubs of expertise: Earthmoving & Demolition, Roads, Minerals and Foundations, Building & Concrete Sector and Lifting, Handling & Transportation.
Three theme villages serving the sector’s technological innovations
To rise to the challenges of digitalisation in the building sector and offer the widest range of solutions, INTERMAT Paris 2018 supports the industry’s technological innovations through the creation of dedicated spaces: the Start-up village by EUROVIA, the Building Smart Village and the Demolition & Recycling Village.
The market’s most topical subjects will be examined in a programme of talks dealing with the represented themes, thereby fostering exchange, dialogue and the sharing of information between professionals.

WORLD OF CONCRETE EUROPE Connecting the Concrete Sector!
|
The second edition of World Of Concrete Europe, the international exhibition for the concrete sector, will be held from 23 to 28 April at Paris-Nord Villepinte Exhibition Centre, alongside INTERMAT.
Playing a key role in urban development and regional planning, the Concrete Sector contributes to the new collective challenges of a fast-changing society: population movement and growth, climate change and urbanisation. Concrete, the most widely used material in the world, is central in our responses to the new challenges of the construction sector. To fulfil the needs of the market, WOC Europe provides manufacturers, specifiers and users a global view of the entire sector and a glimpse of the latest trends in concrete technology through its exhibition zones, a demonstration zone and a series of dedicated talks and round tables.2
