InfraBIM Open – sustainability beyond digitalization

Presentations were held on Tuesday by Sebastien Cailliau General Manager Infrakit SARL (Infrakit overview) and Pasi Joensuu VP of Business Development (How are digitalization and sustainability connected in construction industry)

“This event suffered clearly because of Covid, but it was important to have it. Despite the pandemic, we had ca 200 people present during both days, which was good, and the same number of people were present online. On a personal level I found it interesting to get to know more French companies and to speak to them about the digitalization level in France.

During my presentation I got a good connection with the live audience. They lived with me through the presentation, and I believe that it will bring something for the future. People understood that sustainability beyond digitalization is what we need to aim for. Sustainability is important because it will affect the world, we will leave to future generations. It was a suitable time to share our vision and have a public dialogue.” Pasi Joensuu

“Infrakit France was very happy with the event. First, the organizers did a respectable job managing a physical and online event considering the Covid situation. We were delighted to see that professionals did come to Lyon for very interesting exchanges about digitalization of their current operations and worksites. It makes no doubt that all companies now, from majors to smaller companies take a close look at proven solutions like Infrakit to speed up their digitalization operations and benefit from accrued quality, communication and saved costs on their projects.” Sebastien Cailliau
