The construction industry is increasingly required to drive innovation in order to meet the rising demands for sustainability, efficiency, and digitalization. Open innovation and collaboration with startups are key factors in driving this progress. Established companies can benefit from the agile mindset and creative solutions of young startups, particularly in the area of Building Information Modeling (BIM), by sharing ideas and expertise. These partnerships enable faster implementation of new technologies and more effective solutions to complex challenges.
