How do YOU want to live in the future? Discover the city of the future at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL 2024

For the fourth time, Drees & Sommer will be the central point of contact for sustainable construction at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL from 15 to 17 May in Berlin. This year's focus: the city of the future. 

In a new, inspiring atmosphere at Messe Berlin, over 20,000 visitors await the latest technologies and green innovations at the GREENTECH FESTIVAL.   

Under the motto URBAN SUSTAINABILITY, Drees & Sommer will be represented at Europe's largest sustainability festival for the fourth time. Known as THE place to go for sustainable construction and operation, the Drees & Sommer stand G04 in Hall 20 will focus on these topics, among others:   

  • TAKING RESPONSIBILITY: "How do YOU want to live in the future?"
    The construction industry is still responsible for 40 per cent of global CO₂ emissions. The experts take this as an opportunity to present solutions for the sustainable city of tomorrow.
     
  • NEW DARE: "How do WE create cities worth living in?" 
    Take the wheel yourself. At the Drees & Sommer stand, you can immerse yourself in the city of the future using augmented reality - colourful, interactive and forward-looking. 

But that's not all: as the greatest potential for sustainable transformation currently lies in existing buildings, Drees & Sommer will be presenting concrete solutions in exciting panels on the Solution Stage:
