RETHINK. REBUILD. REVIVE.
Shaping the future of the inventory together.
The most sustainable building is the one that has already been built—80% of the buildings of 2050 already exist today. It is not about building more, but about using what we have more efficiently. The key to a sustainable future lies in existing buildings. We need to rethink, redesign, and revitalize.
The neext Future Think Tank offers an exclusive meeting place for targeted networking and topic-based dialog. Experts and companies are guided and actively networked with each other in order to develop sustainable partnerships.

THE CONCEPT
The neext Future Think Tank has a clear goal: to provide impulses, find solutions, and strengthen networks. Each event is individually tailored to the host and combines expert knowledge with interactive dialog. The focus is on future-oriented topics, which are addressed in interactive formats such as auditorium debates, fishbowl discussions, workshops, and Walk & Talks.
We pay particular attention to the key topics of ReThink, ReBuild and ReVive - with the aim of developing innovative approaches and specific solutions for existing buildings.
How can we rethink existing structures in order to adapt them to the requirements of a sustainable future?
What innovative approaches or materials are needed to make the existing stock sustainable and fit for the future?
How can we revitalise existing buildings and quarters to create liveable, social and sustainable living spaces for the community?
OUR PARTNERS 2024-2025

In addition,‘Future-proof construction’ addressed the question of how the construction industry can be made more resilient, while ‘Renaturation of the city’ showed how urban spaces can be reimagined with sustainable strategies.
