It brings together a wide range of skills and professions, both public and private, dedicated to the built environment.
Digital AECO
Digital AECO integrates digital technologies into every phase of the lifecycle of buildings and infrastructure. It enables better design, construction, and operation through structured, shared, and interoperable data. It enhances collaboration, productivity, and sustainability of projects.
Technological Tools
