FinnBuild opens at Helsinki Expo and Convention Centre 8–10 October 2024

The FinnBuild programme will be held mostly in Finnish language and will focus on the construction sector's business cycle, future trends and smart building with its innovations. While energy efficiency remains a topical issue in the context of sustainability, the event will also discuss the use of bio-based materials in high-rise buildings. FinnBuild was first held in 1974 in the old exhibition hall in Töölö, marking a milestone worth celebrating. 

The FinnBuild 2024 programmes will take place on two stages: BuildingPRO (7f140, building, future), GreenPRO (3c31, circular economy, sustainability). 

The FinnBuild 50th Anniversary Exhibition (3e51) features a photographic exhibition on the history of Finnish construction, designed by Harri Hautajärvi. There is also an exhibition of FinnBuild press clippings from three decades 1970–1990.
