BEEYONDERS' journey towards a safer, sustainable, and competitive European construction sector

February 3rd, 2023

The EU-funded project BEEYONDERS releases a new video presenting its mission and key technologies to be developed to transform the European construction industry.

2 February 2023—"The construction sector is a key pillar of the EU economy, accounting for 18 million jobs and contributing to almost 9% of the GDP. However, it remains one of the least automated and digitised industries". This is the opening of the video released by BEEYONDERS introducing how the project aims to develop, test, and introduce six new technologies to boost the EU construction industry of the future. These solutions will be tested in six pilot scenarios in multiple infrastructure typologies across different countries. The goal is to improve the overall sustainability, safety, and well-being of the involved workforce.
