We are focusing on the following core areas:
left
Technology-driven growth
- Innovations emerging from scientific research enable technology-driven international growth in the construction industry.
- New materials and intelligent systems transform buildings and urban areas into reservoirs – or even producers – of energy and material.
- Automated construction, digitalisation, and multi-industry products and services open up international business opportunities.
Business transformation
- Sustainability challenges, the holistic nature of the built environment, and the role of end users create demand for trailblazing business models.
- Growing sustainability and resilience requirements and increasingly international property ownership are transforming value chains and the roles of both owners and users.
- The viability of the evolving construction and real estate business is essential for societal well-being and sustainable solutions.
Infrastructure resilience
- Infrastructure safety relies on the successful integration of complex systems.
- The development of future communities hinges on a systemic understanding of land use, material flows, transportation, energy systems, water services, and digital networks.
- A new level of professional competence is essential in evaluating the impacts of sustainable development principles and executing structured decision-making.
