Getting your Construction Product Innovation to Market
Change is everywhere in the built environment and over the next few years this is only going to accelerate as the new zero carbon agenda is implemented. There is a desperate need for innovation, not just in new building products and processes, but also in the area of refurbishment. But it remains difficult to bring these innovations to market. This event will bring grant makers, venture capitalists, government agencies, innovators, product developers, product certifiers and construction companies together in order to bring new concepts to market.
