The Nemetschek Group, a leading software provider for the AEC/O and media industries, will be exhibiting at digitalBAU 2026 in Cologne from March 24 to 26, 2026, with a clear focus on artificial intelligence (AI). The trade fair presence will spotlight practical innovations from the Nemetschek brands ALLPLAN, Bluebeam, dRofus/dTwin, Graphisoft, Maxon, Nevaris, Solibri, Spacewell, and Vectorworks, as well as from the AI & Data Innovation Hub, all aimed at further accelerating digital processes along the entire building lifecycle.
AI becomes productive – from design to building operations
A central trend at digitalBAU 2026 is the consistent use of artificial intelligence in real-world project workflows. The Nemetschek Group is advancing its group-wide AI Strategy 2026 with three clear priorities: agent-based AI systems, intelligent automation, and product-specific AI functionalities for architecture, design, construction, and operations.
With the Nemetschek AI Assistant, which has been gradually rolled out across all brands since 2025, users benefit from AI-powered assistance that optimizes workflows and provides intelligent, context-sensitive features.
“Artificial intelligence marks a fundamental transformation for the construction and real estate industry,” says Yves Padrines, CEO of the Nemetschek Group. “At digitalBAU 2026, we will demonstrate how our AIbased solutions provide tangible support to professionals in planning, construction, and operations: through intelligent assistants, automated workflows, and new ways to leverage data more effectively and efficiently across the entire building lifecycle.”
The innovations that the Nemetschek Group and its brands will be presenting at digitalBAU 2026 at booth 8.402 include, among others:
- ALLPLAN showcases groundbreaking AI technologies such as the AI Visualizer V2, AI Coder, and an AIenabled Python API that accelerate visualization, BIM modeling, and parametric design, while the AI Assistant helps new Allplan users become experts faster.
- Bluebeam with Bluebeam Max (coming soon), the next generation of AI-powered solutions for construction execution – including automated checks, intelligent drawing comparison, and seamlessly connected workflows between office and jobsite.
- dRofus/dTwin, showcasing their digital data and twin solutions for fully connected planning and operations processes.
- Graphisoft with its Design Intelligence Strategy, which unites all designers in a seamless and interdisciplinary workflow; the AI Assistant for Archicad, DDScad, and MEP Designer; and Project Aurora, a cloudnative design platform that enables datadriven work and wellinformed decisions from the very first sketch.
- Maxon, expanding its portfolio with Redshift for Vectorworks and the new ArchViz Tools, offering powerful visualization workflows tailored to architecture and design projects.
- NEVARIS demonstrates in the infrastructure sector how a fully integrated IFC workflow supports wellinformed project decisions and presents NEVARIS Connect – a cloudbased selfservice solution for standardized data integration. 123erfasst introduces the new Calculation module, which enables users to create and manage quotes, orders, and invoices directly within the app.
- Solibri, presenting new features for model-based quality management and rule checking.
- Spacewell, showcasing innovative solutions for data-driven building management and smart workplace design.
- Vectorworks with the AI Assistant and AI Visualizer for time-saving solutions, accelerated idea generation, and adaptive design workflows.
In addition to an extensive presentation program directly at the booth, the Nemetschek Group will also offer numerous talks as part of the official digitalBAU 2026 conference program.
