Public–Private Collaboration Connects Technology, Circular Economy and Green Innovation to Accelerate the Transition to a Low-Carbon Industry
Bangkok, 16 September 2026 – IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd. officially opened the Building Construction Technology Expo 2026 (BCT Expo 2026) at Hall 7, IMPACT Muang Thong Thani, under the theme “Empowering Net Zero in Construction & Mining.” The event brings together government agencies, private-sector organizations and industry partners to connect technologies, innovations and knowledge that support carbon reduction, resource efficiency and the transition towards a Circular Economy.
This year, BCT Expo 2026 brings together more than 150 brands showcasing technologies for the building, construction and mining industries. The exhibition features dedicated areas covering Net Zero, Circular Economy, carbon management and resource-efficiency technologies, alongside more than 30 conference and seminar sessions and business-matching programmes designed to help businesses access new technologies and establish regional partnerships.
Ministry of Industry Advances Circular Economy to Create Value and Strengthen Competitiveness
Mr. Varawut Silpa-archa, Minister of Industry, representing the Prime Minister as Chairman of the BCT Expo 2026 Opening Ceremony, said:
“The Ministry of Industry places strong emphasis on transforming the industrial sector towards a Circular Economy, with a focus on strengthening the competitiveness of Thai businesses through technology and innovation, maximizing resource efficiency, reducing waste generation, and developing an industrial ecosystem that supports growth alongside social and environmental responsibility and the quality of life of the people, in line with the ONE MIND policy.
“This year, the Department of Primary Industries and Mines (DPIM) is presenting, for the first time at BCT Expo 2026, a collection of knowledge, innovations and technologies related to raw materials and downstream industries developed during fiscal year 2026.
“This represents an important step in connecting innovations in raw materials and recycling with the construction sector and related industries, creating new environmentally responsible business opportunities while sustainably strengthening Thailand’s competitiveness.”
BCT Expo Connects Technology, Knowledge and Business Opportunities
Mr. Loy Joon How, General Manager of IMPACT Exhibition Management Co., Ltd.:
“BCT Expo 2026 is built on the belief that industrial transformation can take place when technology, knowledge and people are effectively connected.
“As the organizer, we aim to create a platform that goes beyond product exhibitions by bringing together technology providers, businesses, experts and relevant organisations to exchange knowledge and develop partnerships through innovation showcases, seminars and business-matching programmes.
“Particularly in the areas of Net Zero and Circular Economy, we want BCT Expo to provide businesses with practical insights into technologies and approaches that can be applied in real-world operations to improve efficiency, reduce resource-related costs and strengthen the competitiveness of the construction and mining industries.”
Raising Building Standards and Advancing Sustainable Urban Development
Ms. Supatta Chaitavarun, Deputy Director-General of the Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning (DPT), said:
“The Department of Public Works and Town & Country Planning places importance on developing construction standards and urban planning approaches that respond to environmental and energy-related changes.
“The adoption of technology and innovation in building design and construction will play an important role in improving the efficiency of buildings and infrastructure while reducing environmental impacts.
“Promoting energy-efficient buildings, environmentally friendly construction materials and construction approaches that consider efficiency throughout the entire lifecycle will help raise standards for urban development and infrastructure while contributing to a more sustainable quality of life for the people.”
DPIM Connects Raw Materials, Recycling and Technology with Real-World Industrial Applications
Mr. Aditad Vasinonta, Director-General of the Department of Primary Industries and Mines (DPIM), said:
“DPIM is committed to managing raw materials across the entire value chain, covering natural mineral resources, recycled alternative raw materials and advanced materials, in order to strengthen resource security and promote more efficient use of raw materials.
“At BCT Expo 2026, DPIM is presenting knowledge and innovations in minerals, metals, recycling technologies and the promotion of circular-economy practices through the DPIM Circular Economy Pavilion, together with in-depth seminars led by industry experts.
“Connecting research outcomes and prototype technologies with industry applications through this platform will create greater opportunities to translate knowledge into practical use and support Thailand’s industrial transition towards a Circular Economy and a low-carbon society in a tangible manner.”
TCEB Supports BCT Expo in Connecting Thai Businesses with International Networks
Mrs. Jaruwan Suwannasat, Senior Vice President of the Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (TCEB), said:
“TCEB is pleased to support BCT Expo 2026, a platform that connects Thai businesses with international networks in business, technology and knowledge.
“International trade exhibitions and business events create more than business opportunities. They also serve as important mechanisms for bringing new knowledge, technologies and best practices into Thailand, while providing Thai businesses with opportunities to build networks and expand into international markets.
“TCEB believes BCT Expo 2026 will create tangible Business Opportunities, Knowledge Exchange and International Connections, while supporting the development of Thailand’s construction and mining industries and strengthening their competitiveness at the regional level.”
From Circular Economy to Net Zero: Technology as a Key Driver of Industrial Transformation
BCT Expo 2026 takes place amid significant changes across the construction and materials industries, which are facing growing demands to achieve Net Zero targets, improve energy and resource efficiency, reduce waste and maximise the reuse of materials. At the same time, infrastructure development and continued urban growth are generating ongoing demand for new technologies and solutions.
As a result, industrial decarbonisation is no longer solely an environmental issue. It is directly linked to operational efficiency, costs, resource management and business competitiveness.
BCT Expo 2026 therefore presents technologies and knowledge spanning the value chain — from upstream raw materials to construction, buildings and resource management — giving businesses practical perspectives on solutions that can support their transition and be applied in real-world operations.
