The 14th BIM Lecture Hall & CDE Conference in Shenzhen

As China advances its Digital China strategy, digital transformation has become a key driver of high-quality development in the engineering and construction industry. Technologies such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), Digital Twins, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are accelerating industry digitization. Amid this transformation, the Common Data Environment (CDE)—a fundamental concept for unified BIM data management and collaborative sharing—has become increasingly crucial in supporting the industry’s global digital transformation.

To enhance CDE adoption in China and promote international knowledge exchange, the Chinese Society of Graphics BIM Committee (中國圖學學會建築信息模型專業委員會) and buildingSMART China—the official branch of the internationally recognized BIM standards organization buildingSMART—co-hosted the 14th BIM Lecture Hall & CDE Conference (第十四期BIM大講堂暨通用數據環境(CDE)大會) on 23 March 2025 in Shenzhen.

The event brought together government officials, industry experts, business leaders and technology providers. With a global outlook and cutting-edge practical insights, discussions focused on the fundamental concepts, technological applications, standards development and real-world case studies of CDE.

During the event, Mr. David Fung, Managing Director of A.C.I.D., delivered a presentation on the topic: IM-CDE: Complete Information Lifecycle Management.
