ITeC: The Catalonia Institute of Construction Technology

We operate at the intersection of advanced materials, industrialized construction systems, regenerative design, and digital innovation. In addition to our institutional role, we support a group of pioneering deep-tech and construction-tech companies whose capabilities we integrate into EU-level collaborations.

Our represented expertise includes:

• Next-generation prefabricated and modular building systems. Based on lightweight structural shells, energy-efficient envelopes, and rapid-assembly wall systems — enabling low-disturbance construction, deep renovation, and scalable housing solutions. These systems combine industrialized off-site manufacturing with high-performance geometry to deliver superior energy efficiency and built-in circularity.

• Regenerative materials and advanced composites for structural applications. Adoption of bio-based fibre composites, nature-inspired geometries, and material-efficient load-bearing systems — significantly reducing embodied carbon, enhancing mechanical performance, and enabling novel typologies in architecture, mobility and infrastructure.

• AI-driven design and urban-innovation platforms. Digital ecosystems that integrate AI, data analytics, digital twins and user-centric urban modelling. These platforms optimize building performance, support sustainability strategies and regenerative development scenarios, and enable integrated planning of mobility, energy, housing and natural systems for cities and regions.

• Circular construction, whole-life carbon assessment and energy performance optimisation. Comprehensive capabilities in life-cycle assessment (LCA), environmental databases, digital project workflows and sustainability consultancy, supporting whole-building circularity and low-carbon models — from product selection to construction, operation, maintenance and eventual deconstruction or recycling, aligned with EU taxonomy, Level(s), and climate neutrality objectives.

We represent: Industrialised building solutions ready for large-scale demonstration; Advanced material technologies for construction and mobility (wood); AI-powered planning and building performance tools; Circular and low-carbon construction models; Innovative design-to-manufacture workflows.

Our focus within this brokerage event is sustainable buildings, next-generation materials, climate-neutral infrastructure, and energy-mobility convergence.
