Innovation and Entrepreneurship 2026

A more resilient, green and digital European construction ecosystem:

Construct Innovate is launching this webinar series to bridge the gap between the construction industry’s massive economic footprint and its urgent need for evolution.

As the EU’s second-largest industrial ecosystem, construction is a powerhouse for growth, yet it remains one of the most resource-intensive sectors. To reconcile these two facts, the industry must move toward more productive, circular, and digital practices.

Why Focus on Innovation and Entrepreneurship?

The construction sector is at a crossroads. To remain competitive while meeting climate goals, the “business as usual” approach is no longer viable. These webinars are designed to:

• Drive the Green and Digital Transition: Aligning with the updated EU Industrial Strategy to transform value chains and business models.

• Foster Resilience: Helping the ecosystem navigate social, energy, and economic shifts through smarter cooperation between public authorities and industry stakeholders.

• Enhance Livability: Focusing on real-world outcomes like safer buildings, affordable housing, and sustainable urban environments.

This webinar series are supported by The Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI), Society of Chartered Surveyors Ireland (SCSI), Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland (ACEI), Constriction Industry Federation (CIF) and Engineers’ Ireland West region
