Emergent Sustainable Built Environment Materials- ESBEM Innovation Network

Are you involved in low-environmental materials with the built environment?

Join us for the first Networking Workshop in the ESBEM (Emergent Sustainable Built Environment Materials) Innovation Network Series:

ESBEM works across the construction supply chain vertical and horizontals to grow the UK low-environmental impact materials supply chain by fostering collaborations and partnerships between forward-thinking organisations. It encompasses all aspects of UK construction from dwellings to railways; with a focus on mid to high TRL materials and components; but, excluding the Foundation Industries such as steel and cement that have strong trade bodies and other initiatives.

• Launch the Network

• Identify changes to barriers and blockers to the growth of the UK supply chain

• Showcase innovative materials through elevator pitches by smaller suppliers

• Facilitate networking and collaboration building

• Help define the direction of future Workshop activities

• 09:30 AM start

• Introduction to the network and key partners

• Workshop activity

Ratify: perceived barriers / changes to barriers to adoption of UK produced Low-environmental impact materials

Develop thinking: Building evidence base. What could the Innovation Network do to address these and what are the gaps.

• Workshop Findings

• Introduction to the virtual collaboration platform

• Elevator Pitches

• 12:30 PM workshop close and networking begins
