Winvic @ UKREiiF 2026

WINVIC AND PARTNERS HUB – BEDS, SHEDS AND THE ROAD AHEAD

Thank you to everyone who visited the Winvic and Partners Hub at UKREiiF 2026. The pavilion served as a place for thought leadership and dynamic industry collaboration, with engaging panel discussions and interactive sessions addressing the most pressing challenges and opportunities facing the construction industry.

During the event, we officially launched a major new ESG whitepaper , calling for stronger regulatory alignment to support the delivery of net zero carbon aligned buildings across the UK built environment.

Over the course of the event, our hub became a focal point for thought leadership on key themes such as Net Zero, ESG, sustainability, social value, BTR and the housing crisis, what makes good development in the Industrial & Logistics sector, and what determines Data Centre viability.

We were delighted to be joined by our partners, Ridge, UMC Architects, Maber, and M1 Agency, alongside a diverse mix of industry and government representatives. We’re grateful for the valuable connections made, the insights shared, and the momentum gained.

Prologis – Job, Growth and Place: Connecting People with Opportunity

Invest Warwickshire – What Makes ‘Good Development’?: Working in Partnership to Deliver Better Space

This panel explores how good development goes far beyond bricks, budgets and build programmes.

Beyond Power: What Determines Data Centre Viability

As demand for digital infrastructure surges, this session examines the critical factors that determine data centre viability beyond power – from supply chain resilience and planning challenges to skills, sustainability and infrastructure readiness. We explore how informed collaboration across the supply chain can unlock deliverability, reduce risk and shape future ready data centre growth across the UK.

Fusion21 – Beyond Faster Decisions: Planning Reform, Partnership and Social Value

Planning reform aims to accelerate delivery, but speed alone doesn’t create successful places.

UK Net Zero Carbon Buildings Standards (UKNZCBS) – Industry Whitepaper Launch

This session focuses on practical ways to decarbonise construction materials, focusing on how carbon capture technology is reducing cement and concrete’s carbon footprint to near zero, supported by a growing global network of carbon capture and storage (CCS) projects, and how carbon data is being reported for transparent construction. We’ll bring together experts from across the supply chain to show how lower carbon construction is achievable today.
