Redefining the Built World – Unlocking Innovation and Investment

While the construction industry has typically been slower to innovate than most other industries, leading contractors and technology startups see opportunities for innovation during this era of inefficiency and disruption. The most forward-thinking organizations are partnering and investing in tech startups that are developing state-of-the-art technology solutions to transform the built world and redefine what it means to be a builder. Join Suffolk Technologies operating director Parker Mundt as he discusses his organization’s innovation ecosystem, “Boost” accelerator program successes, and the role specific technologies (such as robotics, data and AI) are going to play in the industry’s future.
