Bridging the Innovation Gap: ENR FutureTech 2025 Returns to San Francisco

Connecting AEC Leaders and Silicon Valley Innovators

The construction industry, a global economic powerhouse, is on the cusp of a digital transformation. ENR FutureTech 2025, returning to San Francisco May 5-7, is designed to accelerate this evolution, connecting architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) leaders with the cutting-edge innovators of Silicon Valley.

This year's conference kicks off with an exclusive Welcome Reception on May 5th, providing registered attendees a unique opportunity to network and forge the partnerships that will shape the future of construction.

Addressing the Industry's Innovation Challenge

While construction contributes significantly to the global economy, its adoption of digital technologies has lagged. According to the World Economic Forum, this inefficiency results in over $1.6 trillion in lost value annually. ENR FutureTech 2025 offers a crucial platform for industry leaders and disruptors to collaborate on solutions that will revolutionize project design, construction, and delivery.

"ENR FutureTech 2025 is about more than showcasing new technologies; it's about sparking real connections that will change how we build," says Scott Seltz, Publisher of ENR. "By bringing the best minds from AEC and Silicon Valley together, we're creating an environment where the future of our industry isn't just discussed — it's shaped."

Spotlighting the Next Wave of Construction Technology

FutureTech will shine a spotlight on late-stage startups poised to reshape the construction landscape. These companies, representing the leading edge of practical innovation, offer tangible solutions to real-world AEC challenges. Design firms, contractors, and venture capitalists will have a front-row seat to witness the future of the industry, while emerging founders can network and learn from established construction tech firms.
