This event is both ONLINE and IN PERSON. In person places are limited.

The built environment accounts for roughly 40% of global emissions. Using lower carbon and innovative materials in construction is a crucial part of the decarbonisation journey for the industry. Companies are emerging all over Australia with innovative material solutions that can help drive down the carbon embodied by construction projects.

The MECLA Innovative Building Materials Challenge brings together the construction supply chain to learn about these new innovative materials and how they can be used. With a keen focus on small to medium sized enterprises, the MECLA Innovative Building Materials Challenge is an opportunity for companies to share their products with architects, contractors, investors and builders, educating them on the possibilities for use.

This is an opportunity for companies to present to industry professionals from Australia as well as international government and business representatives who have a keen interest in exporting innovation to help address their own carbon reduction journeys.

Kindly hosted by Laing O’Rourke, participants are invited to attend the session online or in person. In person attendance is limited, however the event will be streamed live to the wider MECLA community around Australia and the world.

The event will run from 3pm – 5:30pm AEST.

During the event, the 3 allotted minutes of question time will be used up by the judge's panel. After the event there willl be an opportunity to meet the innovators and discuss their organisations.
