The construction and finishing materials market is undergoing a transformation; it is gradually shifting from a product‑focused market to a market focused on expertise, flexible solutions, and customer‑centricity. Today, it is no longer enough for a manufacturer to simply release a high‑quality product. They need to understand who their main customer is and what criteria they use to make their choice. Price remains important, but it is no longer the decisive factor. How is demand changing? What steps should a manufacturer take to not only maintain profitability but also take the business to a new level during a period of uncertainty?


Topics for discussion:

• Import substitution and the transformation of demand in the construction materials market: the development trajectory of key segments by 2026.
• How are manufacturers adapting to new economic conditions? The transition from import dependence to the leadership of domestic material manufacturers.
• Energy‑efficient construction: balancing costs and sustainable development.
• The economy of transparency: current criteria for the reliability of contractors and manufacturers of construction materials.
• Next‑generation construction materials: the synergy of energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, and economic benefits.

The construction industry in Russia is experiencing a difficult period. High key interest rates, reduced government support, and declining demand — all of this is leading to a slowdown in construction; developers are in no hurry to launch new projects. How can the market overcome this stage? What steps can the participants in the investment and construction process take themselves to maintain business stability?


Topics for discussion:

• Improving the regulatory framework: from eliminating administrative barriers to accelerating the investment and construction cycle.
• Increasing construction efficiency through the introduction of new technologies: from cost savings to quality.
• Analysis of the construction industry labor market: forecasting needs and tools for developing human resources.
• Partnership economics: algorithms for effective interaction between the developer, designer, contractor, and regulatory authorities.

Unlike the narrowly specialized industrial parks of the past, modern formats offer small and medium‑sized businesses a multifunctional environment — a hybrid space where production, warehouses, trade, and offices are combined into a single ecosystem. At the same time, high‑quality development of production and warehouse spaces alone is no longer enough. Behind the modern facade of the building, there must be a well‑developed service infrastructure — it is this that creates a truly in‑demand product. What trends are shaping the development of industrial construction in recent years? How is the Light Industrial concept transforming the warehouse real estate market?


Topics for discussion:

• Transformation of the industrial real estate market: shifting focus to quality
• Light Industrial as the most promising format in the industrial and warehouse real estate market
• Evolution of Light Industrial aesthetics: modern architectural solutions
• Principles of infrastructure design in industrial real estate projects, integrating them into the urban environment
• Investment strategies: what tools and opportunities make warehouse real estate an attractive asset for investors
• Formation of a service ecosystem as a factor in the capitalization of Light Industrial projects
