Much attention will be paid to fire and industrial safety: fire-resistant materials and coatings for engineering communications, metal and wooden structures, and integrated solutions for facilities that are under construction, under repair, or already in use will be presented at the stands.

Several manufacturers will demonstrate smart glasses and translucent structures for apartment buildings and suburban housing, including those that can change their transparency due to light scattering - they respond to illumination, temperature and electric current supply. Lock manufacturers will show new products that allow fingerprint access. Russian and Chinese manufacturers will bring new elevator equipment, including business class with an exclusive design.

The largest stand of the exhibition will be located in the second pavilion. It will feature professional technical and glazed porcelain stoneware for various applications such as facades, public areas and private spaces.
