Materials for the City of Tomorrow
New materials and construction methods are fundamental to the development of future cities. At Urban Tech Republic, companies, research institutions, and creative professionals are working on new materials and production processes for the construction industry of tomorrow.
Cities around the world face the challenge of balancing the growing demand for housing and infrastructure with the responsible use of resources. That is why new materials, the circular economy, and alternative manufacturing processes are becoming increasingly important. Urban Tech Republic provides companies and initiatives with a space to develop, produce, and implement new materials.
New Materials for the Construction Industry
How can resources be kept in the cycle? What role do regional raw materials and alternative building materials play? And how can new materials be integrated into construction practices?
At Urban Tech Republic, companies are working on new solutions for the construction industry. Through pilot production projects, they are testing alternative or recycled materials and exploring their potential for practical use in construction.
In addition, Urban Tech Republic offers platforms—such as the MATERIAL CULTURE exhibition—that facilitate dialogue among companies, startups, universities, and research institutions. This fosters new perspectives on material innovations, the circular economy, and the future of construction.
An excellent concept
The Urban Tech Republic campus received DGNB Platinum pre-certification. In 2022, Campus West was also awarded the DGNB Platinum Development Certificate.
