PARIS, France and MUNICH, Germany, June, 22, 2026 – Nemetschek Group has acquired an equity stake in Dawex, connecting its AEC/O software portfolio with Dawex’s data exchange technology. Dawex’s co-founders will retain control of the company’s strategy, governance and operations.
The investment links Nemetschek’s AEC/O software portfolio with Dawex’s technology for governed data exchange. The companies said the exchange of structured data can support collaboration across AEC/O workflows and provide a foundation for agentic AI applications focused on productivity, operations and sustainability.
For Dawex, the investment is expected to support growth, international expansion, including in Germany, and its work on data exchange requirements in the construction sector. The relationship with Nemetschek also supports its use of trusted infrastructure for AI-ready data ecosystems. The investment aligns with its strategy to provide data exchange solutions across more than 15 sectors globally.
“We see trusted, governed data exchange as a foundational layer for the next decade of innovation in AEC/O, from collaborative design to construction intelligence and future agentic AI workflows”, says Yves Padrines, CEO of the Nemetschek Group. “Dawex has already invested significantly in this vision and is taking a leading role in shaping the emerging European standardization initiative CEN trusted data transactions standard. By combining Dawex’s proven exchange infrastructure with Nemetschek’s leadership in Open BIM data and workflow collaboration, all players in the construction lifecycle will be able to govern their data as a strategic asset, fueling AI-driven insights and accelerating productivity, resilience and sustainability.”
“We are extremely happy to welcome the Nemetschek Group as a Dawex investor, which is a powerful and strong validation of both Dawex technology and vision. Together, we will accelerate the creation of trusted, secure and standardized AI data ecosystems that the market urgently requires.” states Fabrice Tocco, Dawex co-founder.
“As data spaces and data marketplaces scale to real-world deployments, fostering data collaboration requires organizations to break silos and ways of working. The proper technology to accelerate, streamline and secure data exchanges internally and externally, has become equally essential in an AI-powered world. This is exactly what Dawex provides”, added Laurent Lafaye, Dawex co-founder.
