About
The construction industry consumes large amounts of resources and energy. In order to achieve the 2050 climate goals, all stakeholders must work together. In the Circular Building Lab, innovative circular solutions for the building sector are created and promoted. Stakeholders from business, science and society work together to address the associated challenges along the value chain. From 2022 to 2025, the Lab will operate the NTN Innovation Booster "Circular Building Industry", powered by Innosuisse. In this CBI Booster promising ideas are funded and will be further developed into business cases.
Reto Largo from Empa, NEST will introduce the Circular Building Lab. At the pitching event, the very first batch of ideas are briefly presented by the respective teams. Afterwards, a jury will decide which project teams will receive funding and support from the Innovation Booster to further develop their idea and thus make an important contribution to the circular economy in the construction sector in Switzerland. The pitching sessions will be moderated by Nicola Blum from ETH Zurich.
Following the pitching sessions, Marloes Fischer from the Circular Hub will give a short input presentation on circular construction.
In the end, Cristina Schaffner from Bauen Schweiz announces he winners of the pitching session as jury president.
