BetonTage – Smart concretes for everyday practice

Dear BetonTage guests,

Public awareness of the social significance of building has developed positively, during 2013 as well. In housing construction, in particular, many have recognized that substantial values, such as real estate, are an investment alternative that must be taken seriously while a capital market offers zero interest. The manufacturers of concrete products have presented timely market solutions for the construction industry, with their already established and new products.

Construction products, the same as social requirements, require further development in the future; intelligent solutions are in demand. The BetonTage, with this year’s Technical Congress and the comprehensive Information Exhibition, make essential contributions to this necessary development of new building concepts. Intelligent concretes must be correctly handled and satisfactorily employed in construction practice.

For this reason, BetonTage 2014 attaches great importance to the practical implementation of new technologies in the day-to-day operations of companies. This takes place in collaboration, in a dialogue among the manufacturers; with the pace-setters in mechanical engineering, software development, and the supplier industry; and with engineers, architects, and representatives of the public sector.

I look forward to three days spent with my finger on the pulse of the times and of the trends in concrete for building the future. Join in the dialogue and help to shape the future with us!
