The construction sector in the UK is facing challenges. On the one hand, a large proportion of existing buildings need to be refurbished because they are old. On the other hand, it is essential to increase the energy efficiency and modernization of many buildings. These are responsible for nearly 50 percent of CO2 emissions. Consequently, the demand for skilled workers, modern building materials and innovative construction solutions is increasing, especially in large metropolitan areas such as London. This creates a wide range of market opportunities for NRW construction companies.
From November 18 to 20, 2025, NRW.Global Business is organizing a company trip to the UK, offering participants the opportunity to explore the market potential there. The program includes visits to ongoing construction projects, technical discussions with industry experts and attendance at the London Build 2025 trade fair, which focuses on sustainability, digitalization and modular construction. Companies from NRW in the construction and finishing trades will gain valuable insights into the British market and have the opportunity to network on site.
