✨ Reflections on the Trimble Construction Startup Competition 2024 ✨ One week ago, I had the pleasure of attending the Trimble Inc. event, and it was an inspiring experience! First, a big congratulations to the three finalists of the competition: 🏆 1st place: Ralf Pfefferkorn with Sodex Innovations 🥈 2nd place: Gary Chen with Raise Robotics 🥉 3rd place: Sarah Buchner with Trunk Tools Your innovative ideas are helping shape the future of construction—well deserved! 👏 🌿 I was also honored to join the panel discussion, “Leadership in Sustainable Construction: Adopting Current Strategies and Pioneering Future Innovations with Insights from Industry Leaders.” Alongside speakers from Cemex Ventures, Ferrovial, Zacua Ventures, The Haskell Company, Caterpillar Inc., Leonard, Hilti Venture we explored how we can accelerate the adoption of sustainability practices and the internal efforts driving these changes. 👀 What stood out was that this panel was the only one focused on sustainability during the event—a contrast to many conferences in Europe, where sustainability takes center stage in numerous discussions. The audience’s questions about how regulations influence companies' environmental efforts were especially insightful, reflecting how these topics resonate differently depending on regional contexts. 💰 Another compelling takeaway came from the discussion on hardware investments in construction. Prominent VC funds shared their views on the high risks associated with hardware, yet at NOVA by Saint-Gobain, we’ve committed to supporting transformative solutions like Fortera and CarbiCrete. While digital innovations are important, we firmly believe hardware plays an irreplaceable role in achieving meaningful, long-term impact. 🙏 Thank you to Trimble and all participants for fostering such engaging and thought-provoking conversations. It’s exciting to see how collaboration across regions and perspectives can drive the future of sustainable construction!

Great to see Mitigrate recognised as a key PropTech stakeholder in Europe! So much needs to be done in resilience building against extreme weather. The terrible weekend in central Europe is all too recent to forget how much floods can affect us. Loss prevention is about keeping the head above water, avoiding the worst and recovering fast. #lossprevention #climateadaptation #floods

HERE THEY ARE: the TOP 50 of the 6th edition of the largest PropTech/ConTech competition in EUROPE:

🌱 Beyond digital: Innovating the physical world with our portfolio ventures In our fast-paced digital world, it's easy to overlook the profound impact of tangible innovations. But at WhatAVenture, we're breaking the mold, driving change beyond the virtual realm. One such transformation, the move towards prefabricated and modular buildings, is particularly close to home. In 2019, we launched our joint venture, Wood_Space, 🏗️ in collaboration with the Rubner Timber Engineering. They have since installed hundreds of units across Europe, built a new facility increasing production capacity by 400%, and secured a 7-digit investment from Tauros Capital. 💰 This year, Wood_Space's work was recognized when they were named PropTech Startup of the Year, 🏆 a testament to their dedication to innovation and sustainability. The next time you think about innovation, remember the indispensable impact of the physical world. It's not just about what's digital; it's about improving our tangible reality. 🌳💡 https://lnkd.in/dRqubt3b
