The Sustainable Build is aimed at creating growth in sustainable building (also known as green building). They are based on a collaborative partnership within the construction industry where every year, they select 10 innovators and help them scale up their product, service or business. In doing so, they contribute to the construction industry’s competitiveness in a growing global market for sustainable building.
For its 2016 theme, Sustainable Build is looking for innovative solutions which can create growth in sustainable building. They are inviting start-ups, SMEs and larger enterprises in Denmark and abroad to present relevant solutions to this year’s innovation challenge:
- Innovations that lead to more sustainable production or better performance of new and existing building materials. E.g. innovations that reduce water, energy and chemicals consumption or contribute to improving occupant health and the indoor environment of buildings.
- Innovations that improve the recycling of construction waste E.g. new types of materials based on waste products from production, construction, renovation or demolition
-
Innovations that lead to increased knowledge and traceability of building materials e.g new technologies and methods for the collection, processing, visualisation and dissemination of Big Data in the construction industry.
The 10 innovations judged to have the highest growth potential will receive support to accelerate and scale up the product or solution in autumn 2016. This will include facilitating access to investors, new markets, expert advice and possibly the enterprise’s first customer or pilot project. The winning enterprises will be supported by Sustainable Build partnering organisations, including Pension Danmark, the Central Denmark Region, Henning Larsen, NCC and Tarkett.
