Celebrating Innovation and Industry Excellence at Construction Technology ConFex 2025

We returned to Construction Technology ConFex this year as an official sponsor, and the experience was nothing short of energizing — from powerful conversations to the honor of presenting the Contractor of the Year Award at the closing ceremony.

Held in Dubai and organized by Ventures Connect, this was our third time participating in the ConFex series — following two successful shows in Saudi Arabia and UAE last year. Each time, the event continues to grow in scale, significance, and opportunity for meaningful engagement in the region’s construction technology space.

Throughout the two-day event, our team had a dedicated stand at the exhibition, where we met with prospective clients, demonstrated our ERP solutions, and held one-on-one demo sessions tailored to each company’s needs. These face-to-face interactions remain one of the most valuable aspects of our participation.

There’s nothing quite like meeting clients and industry leaders in person. We had meaningful conversations that gave us firsthand insights into the challenges construction companies are facing — and how we can help solve them.

It was an incredible opportunity to be part of a premier platform where leading technology companies came together to showcase innovation to top decision-makers in the contracting and construction industry. The event offered valuable face-to-face interactions with C-level executives from major firms across the GCC, allowing us to position First Bit as a trusted provider of automation solutions for project-driven businesses.

As official sponsors, our presence extended beyond the exhibition floor. We attended panel discussions exploring the future of construction, with topics ranging from AI and cloud adoption to project digitalization and sustainability — core themes of the event, which brings together developers, contractors, consultants, and tech providers from across the region.

Suneem also gave an on-camera interview during the event, highlighting how First Bit is driving digital transformation in the construction sector.

Our team had the pleasure of welcoming a steady flow of visitors to our stand, exchanging ideas and demonstrating how First Bit’s construction ERP platform tackles real pain points, from cost control and budgeting to procurement and project planning. Here is how Nikkil Bose, our Sales Manager describes this experience:

The atmosphere was vibrant, and the networking opportunities were exceptional. We connected with influential professionals from leading firms and discussed how technology — especially AI and cloud — are accelerating change in our industry.

The experience was not just about knowledge-sharing. As always, the energy of in-person events brought a human dimension that’s hard to replicate.

Beyond the insights, what I truly value is the power of personal connection. No event is complete without great conversations — and great food!

The grand finale came during the Awards Networking Reception, where our Founder and CEO, Aleksandr Smolianinov, had the honor of presenting the Contractor of the Year Award to Trojan Construction Group, recognizing their exceptional contribution to the industry.

Events like ConFex are more than just exhibitions — they reflect where the industry is headed. We’re proud to be part of a forward-thinking community that’s turning bold ideas into real impact.
