Holcim Innovation Hub

The Holcim Innovation Hub – inaugurated in September 2023 – showcases Holcim’s building solutions and serves as a co-creation lab to accelerate sustainable, circular, nature-positive and resilient, energy-efficient and smart building worldwide. 

Based in Holcim’s industry-leading R&D center in Lyon, France, the Innovation Hub has become a gathering place for changemakers across the building value chain. It offers working spaces where startups and think tanks can accelerate innovation together, and serves as an urban dialogue platform to explore the future of sustainable cities and their construction via interactive exhibits and events.

Now is a transformative moment for the building sector, with innovation driving the shift to sustainable construction. At Holcim, we are seeking boundary-pushing partners to accelerate this transition. The Innovation Hub is designed to foster collaboration to scale up low-carbon, circular and energy-efficient solutions together.

Edelio Bermejo | Head of Global Research & Development

The immersive showroom demonstrates how Holcim’s innovative and sustainable solutions are shaping the future of construction. 

These include low-carbon materials such as ECOPact concrete and ECOPlanet cement to build better with less, and roofing, insulation and facade systems that drive energy efficiency to improve in-use sustainability. 

Solutions such as ECOCycle® – Holcim’s proprietary circular technology platform – drive circular construction. The technology enables the recycling of up to 100% construction demolition materials into new building solutions. 

Startups, think tanks and working groups unite throughout the year during events hosted at the Holcim Innovation Hub. Together, we foster forward-looking exchanges with key stakeholders across the construction value chain to accelerate the shift to sustainable building.
