We are looking for startups that offer innovative solutions along the following five key topics.
Achieving climate neutrality by 2050 is technologically feasible. In order for the transformation to be economically viable for all parties, there needs to be a new legal framework and structures that enable affordable construction. Politicians, developers and the industry need to agree on a roadmap—planning security creates willingness to invest.
Due to their high performance, construction machinery needs individual drive concepts tailored to the type of machines and infrastructure of a construction site. Hydrogen, e-fuels, battery electronics—everything has to be possible because the central question remains: “How does the energy reach the construction site and the machine?” The answers to this vary.
Environmental protection and staff shortages are accelerating the digitalization of machines, as well as the development of automated and alternative construction methods in order to make processes more efficient, secure and environmentally friendly—in all construction segments. Data management and serial construction are two key factors of networked construction.
Building materials are a key to significantly reducing the CO2 footprint. Recycled material, new concrete mixes and alternative construction materials in combination with a working circular economy will make it possible to conserve resources and avoid carbon dioxide emissions. Thanks to careful demolition methods with mineral and waste processing machines, Demolition waste and disposal will largely become things of the past.
The supply of raw materials must be secured; through political support in third countries and a new way of thinking in domestic raw material extraction. In order for surface and underground mining to be carried out in an environmentally conscious way, the output has to be considered from the start. Reshaping and recultivating landscapes needs to be a part of all project planning. Automated and, where possible, autonomous processes provide greater efficiency and safety. ESG criteria (environmental, social, governance) help companies to secure their supply of raw materials while at the same time observing ethical principles.
