How can Europe accelerate innovation in façade and building envelope technologies? How can SMEs access testing facilities, funding, and partnerships to bring their sustainable solutions to market faster? These questions will take center stage on November 19, during “Building the Future: Launching Europe's Open Innovation Ecosystem for Construction”, hosted at the Thon Hotel Bristol Stephanie in Brussels.

Organised by Metabuilding Labs and its partners, this event will gather European innovators, SMEs, researchers, and policymakers to explore how Open Innovation Test Beds (OITB) and the Metabuilding ecosystem are shaping the future of high-performance, sustainable building envelopes.

After a welcome coffee at 08:30, the day will open with welcoming words by Thomas Messervey (R2M Solution), President of Metabuilding ASBL, followed by an opening keynote on the European Vision for an Innovative and Clean Industrial Sector delivered by a representative from the European Commission.
