The Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) once again successfully hosted the DigiTwin Conference, focusing on artificial intelligence, digitalization, sustainability, and the innovations shaping the future of the construction industry. The event provided a common forum for industry professionals, researchers, and educators to explore the latest technological trends, practical experiences, and future development opportunities.

The professional program addressed the current challenges facing the construction industry, the renewal of civil engineering education, and the practical applications of artificial intelligence. Participants gained insights into AI-supported design and decision-making solutions, as well as educational developments that leverage the potential of generative AI to enhance engineering education.

In the second half of the conference, participants took part in a World Café workshop, where representatives from academia and industry engaged in discussions on the future of digitalization, sustainability, and AI applications in the construction sector. The workshop fostered new professional connections and collaboration opportunities, further strengthening the dialogue between the university and industry.
