Metabuilding is a digital platform connecting stakeholders in the European built environment sector to foster innovation, collaboration, and sustainable development across various industries.
The Metabuilding platform is a digital meeting place designed for the European built environment sector. It aims to bring together stakeholders from the construction industry and emerging sectors such as recycling, circular economy, additive manufacturing, nature-based solutions, and the digital industry. The platform allows innovation actors to stay updated on the latest innovations, find collaboration partners, showcase innovative products and solutions, and access innovation, testing, and certification support for their R&D projects. Setting up a company profile on the platform is free and enables businesses to showcase their innovative products and services at both national and European levels. This facilitates collaboration and growth towards a more sustainable built environment. Metabuilding is part of a broader initiative funded by the European Innovation Council and SME Executive Agency (EISMEA), with a budget of 3.75 million euros. The project aims to develop new cross-sectoral industrial value chains across the EU by leveraging the innovation potential of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The platform is integrated with other services such as Metabuilding Labs, which provides EU-wide testing facilities and innovation services for new building envelope technologies and products.
