Spotlighting innovation“ Innovation will inevitably be central to the discussion but we’ ll be flipping the script to explore how we can better use existing knowledge and the need for social transformation, rather than solely exploring novel technical solutions,” adds Martin Hurn.

By uniting the entire supply chain, Futurebuild is uniquely placed to engage representatives ranging from senior specifiers and architects through to major contractors and developers- all actively looking for innovative ideas to secure and successfully deliver their projects.
Connecting ideas and impact To this end, the Innovation Trail, a curated path showcasing products and systems with measurable sustainability impact, will be spotlighting the biggest breakthroughs, featuring brands including Dimplex, Anzen Walls, The Concrete Centre, 7 Steel UK and ZapCarbon.
The return of the Big Innovation Pitch and Big Retrofit Challenge are also hotly anticipated to highlight transformative thinking as shortlisted nominees present ingenious solutions designed to support the transition to a more sustainable built environment.
