The GreenTech Hub is *exploring a Low-Impact Construction Materials Innovation Challenge in 2026 to identify, test, and scale solutions that lower the footprint of construction in Western Australia.

As the WA housing, renewables, and infrastructure construction boom continues, industry and government partners are seeking new materials, systems, and approaches that reduce impacts across carbon, waste, energy/resource intensity, biodiversity, safety, and supply chain resilience.

We are now inviting Expressions of Interest from individuals and organisations who are:

Developing solutions

Seeking solutions

Interested in collaborating.

Why participate?

Through this challenge, the GreenTech Hub, in partnership with industry and government, will:

Test solutions with real industry partners and real-world use cases

Provide access to validation, performance data, and expert feedback
