FRANCE COUNTRY CHALLENGE
BIO-BASED CONCRETE SOLUTIONS

How may we find bio-based concrete solutions (new concrete compositions, new building components,...) to fit with French regulations (RE2020, and keeping in mind fire, acoustics performance...) in an economical way?

SHORT DESCRIPTION

In the French building industry, cost efficiency in the whole life cycle (production, performance in use...) is challenging. The sourcing of quality
material and the regularity of specifications in natural materials is difficult.

We are lacking availability at scale for our market (competition in diff­erent applications). A holistic view on the performance is needed - not only embodied carbon.

SELECTION CRITERIA
  • Ability to learn and execute fast
  • Past cooperation with other industries
  • Holistic approach of the topic: materials, methods, etc
  • Understanding of the value they can add to the Corporate Partners
  • Real expertise in the domain from start-up (from at least one member or board member)
