How Do Innovative Business Concepts Enable Investment Opportunities in the Complete Construction Value Chain?

Abstract

Our world is changing and the world population is growing rapidly. For all people we need buildings to live, to shop, to work and to enjoy to feel safe and protected. We need a reliable infrastructure to travel, to connect people with people. One of the consequences of growing population is that major cities are incrementally getting bigger. The way we are building needs to change. Conventional infrastructure and living environments are emerging and creating the need for faster, smarter, and lower cost setups. Concepts for Smart Cities and modular housing are born. In most of the local ecosystems, the construction industry is the key driver of growth, wealth, and security. Compared to other industry sectors, the fragmented traditional building industry participants are decades behind adapting to process and lean factory production driven manufacturers. New digital innovative technologies through the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), augmented reality (AR), roboting, automatization, and new materials can help to make the required changes. Pioneers, Innovation, Software and Technology are reinventing our construction world. It is time to be the change to come. It is time to change the way the world is building. There are significant investment opportunities in the complete construction value chain through innovative start-up companies. These entrepreneurs and start-up founders will use technology, data, and engaged people to drive the change in the global construction market.
