Nemetschek Group Invests in Dawex to Accelerate Trusted AI Data Ecosystems for the AEC/O Industry
Dawex, a global leader in data exchange solutions, has announced that the Nemetschek Group, a leading provider of intelligent software solutions for the architecture, engineering, construction, operations (AEC/O), and media industries, has joined its strategic investors. The investment marks a significant step toward advancing secure, trusted, and AI-ready data ecosystems that will support the next generation of digital transformation across industries.
As Agentic AI continues to reshape business processes and operational models, organizations increasingly require reliable, traceable, and governed data sources. Trusted data ecosystems have become essential infrastructure, enabling companies to securely source, exchange, manage, and audit data while ensuring compliance, transparency, and effective governance.
The investment by Nemetschek Group highlights the growing importance of data ecosystems within the AEC/O sector, where seamless data exchange plays a critical role in improving collaboration, efficiency, and innovation. By investing in Dawex, Nemetschek aims to accelerate the development of AI-powered workflows and solutions that can transform how stakeholders across the building lifecycle create, manage, and utilize data.
Nemetschek Group’s software solutions are used throughout the entire lifecycle of buildings and infrastructure projects, from design and planning to construction and operations. Through this collaboration with Dawex, the company intends to strengthen its ability to address complex collaboration challenges and help customers navigate the future of digitalization.
The partnership combines Nemetschek’s expertise in Open BIM and connected workflows with Dawex’s advanced data exchange technology, creating new opportunities for organizations to treat data as a strategic asset. This integration is expected to enable better AI-driven insights, improve productivity, increase operational resilience, and support sustainability goals across the construction ecosystem.
“This investment reflects our belief that trusted and governed data exchange will become a fundamental layer for the next decade of innovation in AEC/O, from collaborative design processes to construction intelligence and future agentic AI workflows,” said Yves Padrines, CEO of the Nemetschek Group. “Dawex has established a strong position in this area and is helping shape emerging European standards around trusted data transactions. Together, we can empower participants across the construction lifecycle to securely manage and leverage their data to accelerate productivity, resilience, and sustainability.”
For Dawex, the investment strengthens its growth strategy and expands its ability to deliver secure data exchange solutions to global markets. The company plans to accelerate its international expansion, particularly in Germany, while increasing its capacity to meet the increasingly complex data exchange requirements of the construction industry.
The collaboration also reinforces Dawex’s position as a trusted technology provider supporting the development of AI-ready data ecosystems. As organizations across multiple industries move toward data-driven operations, the demand for secure and standardized data-sharing infrastructure continues to grow.
Dawex currently provides data exchange solutions across more than 15 industries worldwide, helping organizations overcome traditional data silos and create secure environments for internal and external collaboration. The company’s technology enables businesses to establish data marketplaces, data spaces, and exchange platforms that support responsible data sharing at scale.
“We are extremely pleased to welcome the Nemetschek Group as a Dawex investor,” said Fabrice Tocco, Co-Founder of Dawex. “This investment represents strong recognition of our technology and vision. Together, we will accelerate the creation of trusted, secure, and standardized AI data ecosystems that organizations urgently need.”
Laurent Lafaye, Co-Founder of Dawex, added that as data spaces and marketplaces expand globally, organizations must move beyond traditional approaches to data management. “Breaking down data silos and enabling secure collaboration has become essential in an AI-driven world. The right technology to simplify, accelerate, and protect data exchanges is now a critical requirement, and this is exactly what Dawex delivers.”
The investment also reflects broader support for Dawex’s mission to build foundational infrastructure for a sovereign and trusted data economy. Olivier Sichel, CEO of Caisse des Dépôts group, highlighted the strategic importance of data exchange technology in enabling industrial transformation.
“Dawex has been developing the foundation for a trusted data economy since its creation,” said Sichel. “Nemetschek Group’s investment further demonstrates the importance of data exchange technologies for major industrial sectors and strengthens the ecosystem of organizations supporting this vision.”
With Nemetschek Group joining its investor base, Dawex continues to advance its mission of enabling secure, transparent, and scalable data exchange solutions. The company’s founders will retain full control over its strategy, governance, and operations, ensuring continued focus on innovation and long-term growth.
The partnership represents a major milestone in accelerating the adoption of trusted AI data ecosystems, positioning both companies at the forefront of digital transformation in construction and beyond.
