Global software leader demonstrates how AI, digital twins, and open collaboration are redefining the region’s built environment
At Big 5 Global 2025, the Nemetschek Group is putting digital innovation at the heart of the Middle East’s construction and infrastructure transformation. As a Bronze Sponsor at the region’s flagship industry event, the Group is demonstrating how smart systems, AI-powered platforms, and connected workflows are accelerating the shift toward sustainable, intelligent, and future-ready built environments.
Showcasing its cutting-edge portfolio at Stand Z6 A31, Nemetschek Group is demonstrating how brands such as the AI & Data Innovation Hub, ALLPLAN, Bluebeam, dTwin, Graphisoft, Solibri, Spacewell, and Vectorworks are empowering architects, engineers, builders, and facility managers to unlock efficiency, enhance collaboration, and deliver high-impact sustainable outcomes.
“The Middle East is a region of extraordinary ambition and vision,” said Marc Nezet, Chief Strategy Officer, Nemetschek Group. “Our goal is to drive transformation through open, connected, and intelligent solutions that empower our customers to create spaces that are both sustainable and human-centric.”
“Digital transformation is no longer a choice—it’s the foundation for building sustainable, resilient, and human-centric cities across the Middle East.”

Enabling the Region’s Vision for Digital, Sustainable Cities
Driven by giga-projects in Saudi Arabia and urban innovation in the UAE, the GCC construction market reached $264.4 billion in project awards in 2024, with digitalization and sustainability at the core of national strategies like Saudi Vision 2030 and UAE Net Zero 2050. At Big 5 Global, Nemetschek is reinforcing its commitment to these priorities by showcasing how digital twins, AI-driven design optimization, and open BIM workflows are redefining the planning, delivery, and operational management of built assets.
“Across the GCC, governments are setting bold ambitions to create future-ready cities,” said Muayad Simbawa, Managing Director, Nemetschek Arabia. “We are proud to be the digital transformation partner of choice for landmark projects that focus on productivity, sustainability, and collaboration.”

Beyond the exhibition floor, Nemetschek experts are taking part in high-impact discussions at the conference:
- Marc Nezet, CSO, Nemetschek Group will speak at the Big 5 Global Leaders’ Summit on rethinking innovation for real impact, and later at Big 5 FutureTech Summit on where investment is flowing in ConTech and PropTech.
- Charles Sheridan, Chief Data and AI Officer, will deliver a keynote titled “An AI revolution: Smarter tools, better insights, stronger buildings.” He will also join a fireside chat on how real-world AI implementations are reshaping stakeholder expectations.
Shaping Tomorrow’s Built Environment
With more than seven million users globally and a growing regional footprint, Nemetschek Group continues to lead digital transformation across the AEC/O sector. From design to operation, its intelligent platforms enable data-driven decision-making, reduce environmental impact, and create better outcomes for people, businesses, and the planet.
“As technology reshapes the construction landscape, our mission is to ensure digitalization delivers meaningful impact,” Nezet concluded. “In the Middle East, that impact is not just about smarter buildings—but about shaping better cities for generations to come.”
