metabuilding

Metabuilding is a digital platform that serves as a meeting place for the innovation ecosystem of the European built environment sector. It brings together stakeholders from the construction industry and emerging sectors such as recycling, circular economy, additive manufacturing, nature-based solutions, and digital industry. The platform enables innovation actors in construction to stay updated on the latest developments, find collaboration partners for development or business activities, showcase innovative products and solutions, and receive support for R&D projects. Creating a company profile is free and allows businesses to showcase their innovations at both national and European levels. Metabuilding is linked to the METABUILDING LABS project, a five-year Horizon 2020 EU-funded initiative aimed at unlocking innovation potential and improving competitiveness for SMEs in European construction. This project provides access to over 100 testing facilities across 12 European countries through an Open Innovation Digital Platform that serves as a Single-Entry Point to this extensive innovation ecosystem. The network includes laboratories, test benches, pilot buildings, and living labs, allowing stakeholders to develop and test innovative solutions for next-generation buildings. A consortium of 40 partners supports this initiative, working together to provide the construction sector with easy access to high-value testing facilities, ultimately promoting innovation and the emergence of new technologies for a sustainable, connected, resilient, competitive, and inclusive built environment.
