CEMEX Ventures (NYSE: CX) announced today the launch of the
2018 Construction Startup Competition, an initiative which aims to
find startups looking to lead the transformation of the
construction industry.
Under the slogan “Lead the disruption, join us,” CEMEX Ventures,
CEMEX’s open innovation and venture capital unit, presents its
second open call which will be open from April 10th to June 3rd,
2018. The challenge calls for entrepreneurs and startups to work in
four areas: urban development, improvement of the connectivity of
the actors in the construction value chain, development of new
project funding sources, and new construction technologies.
Those interested in participating can apply through CEMEX
Ventures’ website. Once all entries have been evaluated, the
finalists will be invited to Madrid, Spain on July 12, 2018 to
present their projects to an expert jury.
The startup with the best pitch will be awarded €3,000.00 to
fund its project. All finalists will also have the opportunity to
access CEMEX Ventures’ professional network, participate in project
acceleration or incubation programs, and receive mentoring and
funding.
IPSUM, a collaborative platform for coordination and management
of construction projects which is based on Lean-BIM methodologies,
won CEMEX Ventures’ inaugural call in 2017. Following IPSUM’s win,
CEMEX Ventures continued to work with and advise IPSUM, including
on the international expansion and optimization of the startup’s
business model, which it is currently undergoing. IPSUM recently
closed its second round of fundraising, with CEMEX Ventures as one
of the investors.
Launched in 2017, CEMEX Ventures, leverages CEMEX’s knowledge of
the business with new, leading-edge technologies and platforms,
focusing on solving the main challenges in the construction
ecosystem through sustainable solutions. CEMEX Ventures has created
an open, collaborative platform to lead the construction industry’s
revolution engaging startups, entrepreneurs, universities and other
stakeholders to tackle current challenges in the industry and shape
tomorrow’s value ecosystem.
