Construct Innovate
Construct Innovate (www.constructinnovate.ie), Ireland’s national research centre for construction technology and innovation, is part of Enterprise Ireland’s industry-led Technology Centre programme.
Launched in December 2022 with an initial funding of €5m over five years, it is hosted at University of Galway. The Centre leverages the capabilities, facilities, and expertise available across its partner research performing organisations (RPOs), (i.e. University of Galway, Trinity College Dublin (TCD), University College Dublin (UCD), University College Cork (UCC), Technological University (TU) Dublin, Atlantic Technological University, South East Technological University, Maynooth University and the Irish Green Building Council (IGBC)), as well as providing access to a broader network of European universities and research clusters.
Construct Innovate aims to provide industry-led, independent, evidence-based research through collaboration between industry members and the Centre’s research performing organisations (RPOs). The Centre’s brief focuses on devising solutions for key industry challenges. It will be at the forefront of research initiatives to meet the demands of the country’s major building and investment programmes.
