Speakers: Jorden Schuit of Haskoning and Lex Ransijn of BuildingSMART

Discover the power of openBIM worldwide - inspiration from the international summit. During the buildingSMART International Summit 2025 in Berlin, the prestigious openBIM Awards were presented - the moment when it becomes visible how far the world is with digital collaboration in the built environment. From China to Germany to Japan, these winners show how open standards accelerate innovation, connect data and increase the quality of construction.

During DigiBouw we will take you through the most talked-about projects of 2025:

Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (China) - a mega-project using openBIM to achieve a real-time, data-driven construction process.
China Academy of Railway Sciences - pioneering project management for entire railroad clusters, fully driven by open data.
ARGE TVG / AllesWirdGut / Hertl.Architekten / FCP (Germany) - "BIM is Magical": a highrise where interoperability and algorithmic design merge.
Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (Japan) - an automatic data linkage system from design to cost estimation based on openBIM.
Henderson Land Development & Hip Hing Construction (Hong Kong) - an integrated approach from design to operation: one digital lifecycle.

As a technical professional, innovator or decision maker in the construction and infrastructure sector, you will get a unique insight into how openBIM is applied worldwide - and where the Netherlands is still lagging behind. We translate international successes into concrete insights for our own practice: how can you use open standards effectively, collaborate across disciplines and create value with data?

Be inspired by leading examples, meet peers working on the same digital future, and experience how openBIM is no longer a vision - but reality.

Bio: Jorden Schuit is a board member of buildingSMART Netherlands/Benelux and an enthusiastic advocate of openBIM and digital collaboration in the construction sector. From his role within buildingSMART, he is committed to reducing the gap between vision and practice: from international standards to concrete application in Dutch projects.

With a background in building innovation and digitalization, Jorden combines strategic insight with practical experience. He guides organizations in their transition to open, data-driven ways of working and strongly believes in the power of collaboration across disciplines and software boundaries. His mission: making the construction chain future-proof by sharing knowledge, connecting standards and inspiring people to think differently.

During his sessions, Jorden takes the audience through the international developments around openBIM, with examples from the openBIM Awards 2025. He shows how countries like China, Japan and Germany are embracing open standards to accelerate innovation and efficiency - and why the Netherlands should not miss this movement.

Jorden is known for his approachable style: technically sharp, but always focused on impact. He connects vision to action and invites professionals to become part of the digital transformation of the built environment themselves.
