Main topics and conclusions of the forum:
Plenary session "The Future Today. AI for Government and Business"
Experts discussed the role of artificial intelligence in shaping a new technological order and enhancing the competitiveness of the economy. The main focus was on international cooperation and the integration of AI into key business processes.
Discussions on the construction industry and housing and utilities
Participants analyzed examples of the digitalization of construction processes, project management automation, and increased transparency at sites. The importance of AI for optimizing budgeting, forecasting timelines, resource allocation, and monitoring the condition of facilities was emphasized. Issues of digital construction control, the use of computer vision for safety assurance, and the implementation of AI-supported BIM models were discussed separately.
Legal regulation and standardization
During the discussion, key legal and methodological issues regarding the application of artificial intelligence were addressed. Experts emphasized the need for developing a regulatory framework that ensures data security and the creation of unified industry standards. These issues are particularly significant for companies implementing projects with large developers.
Investment attractiveness and industry cooperation
The event created an effective space for interaction between investors, developers, and consumers of artificial intelligence technologies. Participants discussed funding strategies for AI projects and signed partnership agreements between professional associations in the field of innovative solutions.
Within the discussion platform on the construction industry and housing and utilities, Enter Construction presented its experience in implementing digital technologies in the construction sector. The company demonstrated a comprehensive approach to the digitalization of construction processes, where BIM technologies integrated with artificial intelligence play a key role.
"Digital transformation is not just a trendy fad, but a necessity for modern construction companies," noted a representative of Enter Construction.
The company presented solutions for project management automation that enhance the efficiency of construction processes. Special attention was given to the use of computer vision for ensuring site safety and optimizing monitoring processes. AI-supported BIM models demonstrate a fundamentally new approach to budgeting, forecasting timelines, and resource allocation in construction. The company's participation in the discussion confirmed that digital technologies are becoming a significant factor in competitiveness in the modern construction industry.
"AI tools allow real-time tracking of employee attendance on site, monitoring their geolocation and the validity of documents. This automates timekeeping, reduces the burden on HR and legal departments, and minimizes the risks of legal violations," summarized a member of the delegation at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in an interview with an international magazine.
The significance of participation in the National Forum "AI - the Future Today"
For Enter Construction, the forum became a platform for exchanging experiences and showcasing developments in the field of AI. The event, organized with the support of the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation and the Committee for Informatization and Communications of St. Petersburg, aims to develop applied AI solutions that contribute to explosive economic growth and the digitalization of key sectors, including construction.
Forum organizer Sergey Votyakov reported that this year the project was held with the support of the presidential administration, the government of St. Petersburg, and Roscongress.
Participation in the forum highlights the strategic role of Enter Construction in the digital transformation of the construction sector. The company's innovations are becoming key factors for competitiveness and sustainable development in the rapidly changing digital landscape of the construction industry.
In the near future, Enter Construction plans to further develop and scale digital solutions. The company's plans include expanding the functionality of BIM technologies, deepening the integration of artificial intelligence into design and management processes, as well as developing a comprehensive digital ecosystem that will optimize all stages of construction—from design to commissioning. A key task is to improve forecasting accuracy, reduce costs, accelerate design, and construct building projects.
