Axel Palmaers is an accomplished entrepreneur and digital transformation expert with over 20 years of experience. Currently, he serves as the CEO and Co-founder of Cooperlink, a leading “Construction Hub” designed to solve the fragmentation of data in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industries.

His research, conducted in collaboration with Universities and Research centers, focused on solving the industry’s “Digital Tower of Babel.” He developed frameworks to:
– Link Companies together: Creating digital bridges between architects, contractors, and owners.
– Synchronize Information: Automating data flow between different software ecosystems (DMS, CDEs, ERPs, …).
– Bridge the gap between BIM and site date: Connecting 3D models directly to operational project data for real-time accuracy and simplicity.

Today, Axel is a prominent advocate for Construction 4.0, helping AEC professionals eliminate manual data entry, ensure ISO 19650 compliance, and maintain a “single source of truth” across complex, multi-partner projects.
