We accelerate innovation in construction and the built environment by bringing together the whole value chain. With active engagement with our members, partners, and a European network of innovation clusters our immediate focus is to address the challenges of the housing, followed by addressing other strategic outcomes identified by the Irish Government and construction sector stakeholders.

Our team have an excellent track-record in supporting industry in securing funding for research and development through various sources. We have collaborated with over 200 industry partners on innovative and impactful R&D projects worth over €300 million during the period 2017-2022.
