Sustainable practices: Initiatives for the circular economy, reducing the environmental footprint of quarrying operations, and utilizing quarry byproducts.
Alongside the main exhibition, the schedule includes a specialized architecture conference featuring distinguished scientists and professionals from engineering, construction, and heritage preservation sectors. Within this framework, the renowned Galician architect César Portela (Spain’s National Architecture Award winner) will be honored.
A Strategic B2B Networking Platform
Stonegal 2026 serves as a comprehensive platform connecting the entire value chain of the sector—from quarry extraction and processing to applications in modern architecture and design.
