International Conference on
Modular Integrated Construction:
NEW PARADIGM

26 June 2025 (Thursday)

9:00-17:30 HKT (GMT+8)

Rayson Huang Lecture Theatre
The University of Hong Kong Pokfulam,
Hong Kong

Overview

Modular Integrated Construction (MiC) is an innovative approach to transforming the construction industry, and has gained popular recognition in the construction and development sectors of Hong Kong, Greater Bay Area (GBA) and beyond in the past few years. The University of Hong Kong (HKU) developed MiC together with the Development Bureau of the HKSAR Government in 2017. Supported by the systematic research of HKU MiCLab, MiC has made significant impacts on policy, society, and industry development. Remarkably, MiC has been highlighted in the Policy Address of Hong Kong for eight consecutive years since 2017. As of 2024, MiC has been adopted for delivering over 100 capital projects covering public housing, transitional housing, private residential, student hostels, staff quarters, schools, and hospitals, etc., to address urgent social needs. Moreover, the modular construction approach has been promoted internationally. This conference provides a timely occasion for local and international experts from government, industry and academia to share MiC breakthroughs and exchange innovative modular construction knowledge and practices.

Highlights

To promote MiC internationally and share MiC breakthroughs and innovations

To share the latest findings of research on MiC 2.0+ advanced structural engineering, innovative building materials and smart project delivery

To share modular construction knowledge and practices from experts internationally

To launch the International Association for Modular Construction (IAMC) which aspires to champion modular construction technology breakthroughs and knowledge sharing

To demonstrate the state-of-the-art MiC research and monitoring facilities at MiCLab
