Seeking partners for Circular Digital Twin Platform for Bio-based Construction Materials (Topic 5)

Madrid (España), Spain

About

NIDO Constructech is a Madrid-based deep tech company developing NIDO Hydrogel, a regenerative bio-material based on alginate (seaweed) that replaces cement, mineral fillers and resilient membranes in industrialised timber construction systems (CLT, timber frame, modular). The material provides thermal inertia, acoustic insulation, fire resistance and biogenic carbon storage — validated at TRL 7 in a real pilot (CTEC, Chile).

We are building a Circular Digital Twin Platform that models, simulates and optimises the integration of NIDO Hydrogel in timber construction systems, with advanced metrics for energy efficiency, biogenic carbon, circular economy, material traceability and EPD of performance.

We are looking for 2-3 partners to complete our consortium for a Topic 5 RIVCircular proposal:

  1. Digital Twin / BIM / Energy Simulation company: to co-develop the digital architecture, BIM integration and interoperability with Digital Product Passport and IoT.

  2. Industrialised timber construction company (CLT / timber frame / modular): to validate the platform in real projects and provide industrial data.

  3. LCA / EPD / Environmental regulation expert: to develop dynamic EPDs, biogenic carbon traceability and alignment with EN 15804+A2, DPP and EU Taxonomy.

Project duration: 1-2 years. Budget: €200k-€700k (Topic 5). Coordinator: NIDO Constructech (Madrid, Spain).
