Together, we change the future of the construction industry

Recognizing the crucial role of innovation in the long-term business success and sustainable growth of the construction industry, Architectural Aluminium Academy organized the 1st Open Innovation Day, which took place on January 16 at the Grand Hotel Palace in Thessaloniki, with the participation of our company and the other partners of the Academy, as well as innovative tech startups and research centers from all over Greece.

With a vision to foster the sustainable construction of buildings, Architectural Aluminium Academy implemented an important initiative that brought us together with innovative Greek tech startups. The aim of the event was to take the first step toward the development of an ecosystem that will cultivate a culture of innovation and create the conditions for new strategic alliances. The initiative is expected to continue and be enriched with more actions, aiming to harness innovative ideas that can contribute to faster project implementation, technical performance optimization and profitability increase.

As strategic partnerships are at the core of the innovation strategy, representatives of different ALUMIL divisions presented the challenges of the future to the participants, and together we explored the opportunities that are being created. Through cooperation, it is possible to develop and implement new technologies in the areas of sustainable building construction, smart homes and personal assistants, robotics, product traceability, use of advanced materials and recycling.

The 1st Open Innovation Day is a particularly important event for the construction industry, as it marks the transition to a new era that will define its future. In this new era, ALUMIL and Architectural Aluminium Academy will play a leading role, focusing on the one hand on research and strategic partnerships to exploit technological innovation and on the other hand on the systematic training of industry professionals to assimilate all the new knowledge, processes and tools.
