The new European Cluster Construction Innovation Platform offers support to companies and clusters in the construction sector in Europe to stimulate the innovation potential of the construction sector through cross-sector and cross-border collaboration.

The Metabuilding Cluster Platform assists in finding available funding for innovation, innovative technologies and virtually showcases companies’ products/services, brings together partners for joint projects and offers the possibility to reach new markets.

This platform is closely linked to international networks such as several national international clusters, the ECTP – European Construction Technology Platform, the EuRIC – the European recycling industries, the EFB – European Federation of Green Roof and Living Wall Associations and innovation laboratories.

It aims to become an important European new tool for business innovation and for collaboration between related sectors such as building materials, recycling and circular economy, additive manufacturing and 3D printing, nature-based solutions and digitalization in Europe.

With 3.75 million euros, 140 SMEs have already been supported, collaborative innovation projects have been established and business models have been created.

Resilience by design? Future-proofing urban environments through green roofs

We are happy to present the WGIN European Chapter latest White Paper, which explores the numerous benefits of green roofs as part of sustainable urban green infrastructure. This document provides an in-depth overview of the benefits of green infrastructure solutions, featuring real case studies that highlight their positive environmental, social and economic impacts. It also outlines the crucial role the European Union has been playing and can continue to play in supporting the widespread adoption of these solutions through effective policies and robust regulatory frameworks. Luigi Petito, Head of Secretariat of WGIN European Chapter: “We are pleased to have access to a powerful new paper highlighting the broad benefits of urban green infrastructure. This will be especially valuable for our ongoing work on the follow-up to the European Water Resilience Strategy and the forthcoming European Climate Adaptation Plan”.
