Construction Scotland Innovation Centre (CSIC) is set to put the built environment at the heart of addressing climate change by hosting an international showcase that will run alongside the COP26 summit from 1-12 November. Through an extensive programme of activity at its Innovation Factory at Hamilton Technology Park, CSIC will highlight the low and zero-carbon alternatives available to the construction sector and the emerging opportunities to build more sustainably.

Over the two-week period, the Innovation Factory will host some of the UK’s most innovative prototypes and exhibits that could pave the way for a more sustainable built environment. CSIC is welcoming visitors to come along and learn more.

The methods and materials used for construction since the industrial revolution now dominate the sector. This is a huge strain on the environment and is one of the leading causes of our current climate crisis. We need alternative solutions, and we have alternative solutions. Explore innovation leading the way to a more sustainable built environment - the materials, processes and skills that already exist - and learn how these can be mainstreamed across industry. Be inspired by zero carbon construction in practice and tour some exciting examples of what a sustainable built environment looks like.

We have brought the latest innovations in low carbon construction to CISC for COP26 including:

  • SNRG
  • GenZero
  • NearHome
  • Ice Box Challenge
  • MulitPly
  • Kenoteq
  • Low Carbon Learning
  • Cities4Forest Tropical Board Walk
  • Cities4Forest Food Truck
  • Balfour Beatty Innovation Pod
  • EXSAKLLERATTE

Our curated programme of events and conferences showcases the best of the sector. There is no charge for any of our events or to tour the exhibits.
