This partnership will deliver curated content on critical themes such as sustainability, smart infrastructure, decarbonisation, digital building technologies, and new business models – both within the framework of the trade fairs and via Building. Technology. Solutions.
Johannes Möller, Group Show Director – Building Technologies Shows at Messe Frankfurt, commented: “We are very much looking forward to working with Frost & Sullivan and drawing on their extensive industry expertise, particularly on key topics shaping the built environment, for both ISH and Light + Building. Their insights into emerging trends, political frameworks, and innovation drivers will provide our exhibitors and visitors with valuable strategic orientation. This input will play a pivotal role in shaping the future direction of both leading international trade fairs – and the insights gained will also be available year-round on Building. Technology. Solutions. – the information platform of Messe Frankfurt for intelligent building technology.”
Kamal Shah, Associate Partner & Head of DACH Region at Frost & Sullivan, added:
“Sustainable, connected infrastructure is no longer optional – it’s the new baseline. Through this partnership, we aim to empower businesses to understand the macro forces reshaping their industries and to make smarter, faster decisions. By combining Frost & Sullivan’s global analytics expertise with the reach of ISH in the fields of water, heating and air, as well as Light + Building’s focus on lighting, building services technologies, and connected security, we are creating a knowledge-sharing platform that will elevate the conversation and catalyse future growth.”
The shift towards climate-neutral buildings, intelligent energy management, and smart living is transforming entire industries – from construction to home automation. Driven by innovation and sustainability, the smart building sector is advancing rapidly. AI, IoT, and data analytics are enabling integrated, energy-efficient systems, while predictive maintenance optimises performance and cybersecurity ensures resilience. New technologies and cross-industry collaboration are reshaping the built environment – making buildings smarter, greener, and more connected. Frost & Sullivan estimates that the global smart building market will exceed USD 50 billion by 2030.
