BUILT ENVIRONMENTS

Innovating together for sustainable buildings and infrastructure



We support innovators in smart communities, urban projects and related built environments to secure funding that helps develop and scale-up technologies and systems improving quality of life in cities and promoting sustainability, efficiency and safety of buildings and infrastructure.

Transforming the built environment for sustainability and resilience


Buildings, public spaces and infrastructure determine how people live and are major sources of energy use and emissions. Transforming built environments is essential for climate targets, resource efficiency and social wellbeing. Innovation covers advanced materials, digital and low‑energy systems, smart infrastructure, circular construction and human‑centred services, all helping cut environmental impact and improve resilience. 

Public funding and collaborative programmes enable this by reducing risk, aligning partners and accelerating deployment. Well‑planned, fundable projects help organisations manage complexity, speed up implementation and deliver measurable environmental, societal and economic impact..

Who do we work with?


We work with cities, technology providers and other organisations across the built environment ecosystem to turn ambitious ideas into funded and impactful innovation projects. Our experts support developers, construction firms, building systems providers, urban planners, property owners, public authorities and research organisations in navigating the funding, technical and regulatory aspects of built environment innovation. 

Our customer projects span early-stage research, piloting of new materials and technologies, large-scale demonstrations and city-wide implementations. Built environment innovation often requires interdisciplinary collaboration, addressing sustainability, human experience, digital integration and infrastructure performance simultaneously.

How can we help you?


We clarify your innovation opportunity and business case, co-design technically credible and socially relevant project concepts, and identify the right partners for collaboration. We prepare competitive funding proposals aligned to relevant EU and national calls and help secure funding for demonstration, deployment and scale-up. 

In case of a successfully funded project, we can guide your Grant Agreement Preparation (GAP) process and provide coordination support to the consortium to keep timelines, compliance and results on track.
