Global Asset Management Day
Effective asset management helps organisations balance the performance, risks and costs of their assets throughout their entire lifecycle.
On 12 April, Global Asset Management Day highlights the importance of professional asset management worldwide. From industrial facilities to public infrastructure, informed asset management decisions contribute to reliability, safety, sustainability and long-term value creation.
Why Global Asset Management Day?
Effective asset management goes beyond maintaining machines and installations. It helps organisations to:
- achieve a better balance between performance, risks and costs;
- align maintenance and investment decisions;
- improve reliability, availability and safety;
- optimise asset lifespans and long-term value;
- use energy and resources more efficiently;
- make informed decisions about asset replacement and renewal.
Global Asset Management Day highlights these contributions and recognises the professionals who make strategic, technical and operational decisions about assets every day.

BEMAS and Global Asset Management Day
BEMAS also contributes to the international exchange of knowledge and practical experience in professional asset management.
For the first edition in 2026, BEMAS organised the webinar Building Robust Asset Management Frameworks – Case Study from South African Government Infrastructure.
Using a real-world case study from South African public infrastructure, the webinar explored how a structured asset management framework can support better decision-making, leadership and organisation-wide collaboration.
