Description of content and objectives

Innovation in Construction Virtual Matchmaking is an international B2B networking event organised by Innovate UK to foster collaboration between companies, researchers and stakeholders active in the development of innovative and sustainable solutions for the construction sector.

The initiative brings together organisations committed to developing sustainable materials, construction technologies, circular economy solutions and innovative approaches for the transition to a low-carbon built environment. The event offers participants the opportunity to showcase their business, share expertise and identify collaboration opportunities at an international level.

During the event, 20-minute online bilateral meetings will be organised, allowing participants to connect directly with potential commercial, technological or research partners. Participants will also be able to explore key industry trends, identify new market opportunities and discuss challenges related to the development of sustainable materials, innovation in construction techniques and the achievement of climate neutrality goals.

Key topics include:

  • sustainable construction materials

  • modern methods of construction and advanced manufacturing

  • solutions for renewable energy and smart buildings

  • green technologies and innovation for the construction sector

  • circular economy and resource efficiency

  • social value and community impact

  • resilient infrastructure and sustainable urban development

The event will also feature the Emergent Sustainable Built Environment Materials (ESBEM) innovation network, a platform promoted by Innovate UK Business Connect to support collaboration and the development of low-environmental-impact construction materials.
