The construction industry, which has served as a backbone of the Korean economy during the era of industrialization, is now facing a new turning point due to both domestic and international changes. Having been responsible for essential infrastructure such as housing, roads, ports, and railways, the construction sector is continuously evolving by incorporating cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technologies across a range of fields. Recently, construction is also providing a strong foundation for advanced industries, including semiconductors, to gain greater international competitiveness.


Globally, despite tough industrial conditions caused by war and climate change, the construction industry is steadfastly fulfilling its role. The Asia Business Daily is hosting the 21st Asia Construction Grand Awards to recognize companies with sector-leading capabilities in architecture and civil engineering, and to honor projects conducted domestically and abroad. In a rapidly changing environment, we seek outstanding companies that contribute to the future of Korea’s construction industry by creating new spatial value through technological skills and creativity. We invite the participation and interest of all professionals in construction.
