Key Facts
60%

4.1B
cubic meters concrete are consumed annually, making it the world’s second most used material after water
10X
lower is the construction labor productivity index compared to manufacturing
~40%

Our belief
To accommodate the world’s megatrends, the output of the built environment industry has to grow, while its impact on the planet needs to decrease. We have to build tomorrow’s homes, schools, and hospitals using fewer resources and smarter methods. Startups will lead the industry down this path.
