Rapid construction coupled with dynamic and innovative high-rise buildings have helped place the construction industry in Hong Kong amongst the market leaders of the region. Having the skyline packed densely with skyscrapers constructed by deploying specialized technologies and techniques, Hong Kong has ensured its lead as quality exporter of the construction services. The construction market in Hong Kong has recorded a 13% YoY growth with an array of projects, including the ambitious Ten Mega infrastructure Projects, underway. From in-situ erections of the building envelope to on-site installation, the façade market in here has come a long way. Increased strength, stability and performance standards are being achieved through functions and performance requirements of curtain walls in addition to help address the climate, e�ciency, sustainability and limited spaces challenges. Hong Kong is also a major design & planning hub for several projects being executed in the Greater China region. Keeping these factors in mind, the Zak World of Façades conference now comes to this region to create a common platform for the leaders and influencers of façades and glass industry value chain. This is the 29th edition in the global series and will deliberate upon industry challenges while finding newer dimensions, innovations and unconventional solutions which can be imbibed to help catapult the region’s construction strengths to newer heights.

Plan and reserve your seat early at the Zak World of Façades conference, an exclusive knowledge sharing platform dedicated to the building envelope segment which encourages ideas and innovation to help the participants gain industry insights from domain experts.
