Curbing  climate  change  &  global  warming

Energy  consumption  &  energy  prices  are  on   the  rise  

We  spend  90%  of  our  time  in  buildings

Growing  population  and  urbanization

Sharing  society

Flexible  work  and  new  social  structures

Increased  mobility  and  speed

The  Millenials  and  the  next  

generations  will  have  a  totally  different  

approach  on  most  aspects  of  

life

Many  industries  have  been  already  disrupted  by  innovative  companies,  but  who  and  how  will  do  the  same  with  the  construction  industry?

Our  needs  and  expectations  are  

changing  drastically,  but  how  will  our  

buildings  satisfy  the  new  

demands  we  will  have  from  

them?

We  are  developing   a  series  of  educational  programs  that  are  specially   designed   for  students  and  experts  from  a  multitude  of  specialties  who  are  or  will  eventually   be  the  stakeholders  of  the  construction   industry

of  innovative  and  sustainable   buildings,   of  professionals,   decision  makers  and  consumers  

in  parallel  with  the  training  and  guiding  of  the  future  generations  is  critical  for  the  future  

of  our  society

We  are  doing  these  by  leveraging  a  unique   approach,  taking  into  account  the  worldwide   trends  and  the  paradigm  shift  that  already  took  place  in  many  industries

Pushing    the  innovation  &  sustainability  by  connecting  stakeholders
