Autodesk’s Vision on the Collaborative Landscape in AECO: Forma Industry Cloud
The AECO industry is being asked to do more than ever before: deliver faster, build more sustainably, and adapt to constant change. Yet static deliverables, fragmented workflows, and reactive decisions continue to slow progress.
If you want to be successful in this market, you can't treat a building project like a relay race where you just hand off a baton and walk away. You have to treat it like a single, continuous flow of data.
In this opening session, you will gain a clearer perspective on where Autodesk Forma is heading and where the greatest opportunities for improvement lie.

CASE: FROM COMPLEXITY TO CONTROL
How PBM Unlocks €170K–€290K Efficiency per Project with
Connected Data
Reducing coordination effort, accelerating decisions, and improving project outcomes
In complex Life Science and industrial projects, inefficiencies in coordination and fragmented data can significantly impact timelines, costs, and risk exposure.
In this session, PBM Group shares how they leverage connected data and structured workflows to improve project performance.
Based on real project data, PBM demonstrates how reducing coordination effort alone can unlock efficiency gains of €170,000–€290,000 per project - while also improving decision-making speed, documentation quality, and overall project control.

CASE: SCALING DIGITAL DELIVERY AT H&MV Engineering WITH AUTODESK CONSTRUCTION CLOUD (FORMA)
At H&MV Engineering, we’ve been scaling our digital delivery using Autodesk Construction Cloud (Forma) to drive consistency, compliance, and collaboration across our global projects.
In this session, I’ll share how we’ve embedded Forma into our workflows, the value it’s delivered, and how our partnership with NTI has supported adoption and future planning, including where we’re heading next with AI and connected data.

ROUND TABLE
What is the difference between companies that adopt digitisation and those that continue with existing “old” manual processes? Is it simply the use of technology, or is it the unlocking of new capabilities that creates possibilities beyond what they ever imagined? In an open conversation with some of the key players in the industry, we discuss the challenges most companies are currently facing, as well as those they have already overcome.
