DigiTrio (Digitalization for a Novel Triad of Design, Fabrication, and Materials) unites ten ambitious projects funded under the EIC Pathfinder Challenge, each exploring the transformative potential of digitalisation within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector. Together, we form a strategic research ecosystem to reshape how buildings and structures are conceived, built, and perform. DigiTrio promotes collaboration across disciplines and borders, offering unique opportunities to build future value chains, strengthen industrial partnerships, and accelerate commercialisation potential through joint portfolio activities. DigiTrio is a dynamic platform for innovation at the intersection of science, technology, and architecture, advancing sustainable and intelligent solutions for the built environment.
As a portfolio, DigiTrio is committed to advancing sustainable construction through shared goals such as reducing embodied CO₂ and enabling predictive design and manufacturing. We aim to demonstrate measurable carbon reductions, support smart construction planning, and establish scalable, environmentally responsible practices across the AEC sector.
