French building and civil engineering group VINCI invites small companies funded by the European Innovation Council (EIC) pilot's SME Instrument to present their vision for building tomorrow's structures and infrastructure.

On 9 July, a selected group of companies will gather at Leonard, VINCI'S new Group-wide innovation and foresight platform in Paris, to present their ideas and business cases to VINCI representatives.

The event is open to all innovative approaches to the construction sector addressing pressing issues facing society today - global warming, population growth and increasing mobility. Companies working on new technological challenges, especially in the fields of energy performance, architecture and digital transformation, are welcome to apply.

VINCI is reaching out to external partners in search of relevant and disruptive solutions to support its Open Innovation policy. A multi-faceted, wide-ranging and detailed innovation policy positions VINCI Construction as a suitable ally for companies committed to building the cities of the future.

If your company is working to build a better and more sustainable future, apply here until 14 May.
