CLIMATE AND BIODIVERSITY
Buildings produce over a third of global CO₂. With cities expanding, change can’t wait.
INEFFICIENT CONSTRUCTION
A $13T market with almost no productivity growth for the past decades needs digitization and innovation.
INDOOR HEALTH
We spend 90% of our lives indoors often in unhealthy spaces.
CIRCULAR MATERIALS
Construction consumes 50% of global raw materials. Circular business models are essential for a sustainable future.
