Built to Scale: Startups Transforming Construction for a Sustainable Housing Future
Construction is one of the most polluting industries on Earth—and one of the slowest to digitize. At the same time, the world is facing a housing emergency: billions need access to affordable, sustainable homes, and the current system can't deliver fast enough.
This session brings together startups, investors, and tech enablers reinventing construction not just through greener materials, but through data-driven, platform-based, and scalable models.
We'll explore:
-How software, AI, and digital twins are reshaping the construction value chain.
-Why industrialized and platform-based approaches are attracting climate capital.
-What it takes to scale housing solutions that are both sustainable and financially viable.
-The role of regulation, procurement and public-private collaboration in accelerating adoption.
-If the climate crisis is urgent, the housing crisis is personal.
