Bangkok, 29 March 2023 – EEC Academy has unveiled the “Nova BUILD EXPO 2023” as a technology platform for the building innovations, the design thinking, and the high-performance products related to building and real estate. This expo is strongly focusing on 3 key elements as called ESI; E-Ecosystem (Buildings with environmental protection), S-Sustainability (Buildings with responsibility to our world and communities), and I-Innovation for Well-being (Buildings for better quality of life and more effectiveness), which is ready to stage during this 13–15 September at Hall 103-104, Bangkok International Trade and Exhibition Center (BITEC), Bangna, Thailand. This exhibition also follows the Sustainability Guidelines of Thailand Convention and Exhibition Bureau (Public Organization) or TCEB.
