BulldozAIR and the French Building Federation at “24 heures du Bâtiment”

The French Building Federation (FFB) represents over 57-thousand companies from all over France. Its members are responsible for nearly two-thirds of the construction industry’s revenue and workforce. Its influence and importance in the construction sector are the reason behind the event “24 heures du Bâtiment” that the FFB hosts every four years. This event brings together over 5,000 people from different backgrounds but all with the same passion in common: construction.

The primary objective of this prestigious event is to gather construction professionals from different areas and shed some light on specific industry’s issues such as growth and future development through the use of panels and discussions.
