European construction sector association CECE has launched a new video setting out the objectives of its DigiPLACE project to achieve digitalisation in the industry.
The DigiPLACE promotional video has been released on the project’s official YouTube channel as integral part of the project communication strategy.
CECE says that, despite several national and European initiatives to boost digitalisation, the EU market complexities and industry fragmentation have prevented cross-trade and cross-country synergies from taking place.
The DigiPLACE project is intended to address this issue by developing a common framework for innovation, collaboration and mutual learning. The video outlines how it can boost the market by driving the productivity of industries and services, and by providing a solid digital foundation that all European construction players can build upon.
The video’s aim is to introduce DigiPLACE to policy makers, industry and the general public as an EU-wide collaboration of 19 partners from 11 countries. The consortium represents the construction industry, academia and national governments united in a single mission: to build the foundation for a digital collaborative future for the European construction industry.
CECE says the video also highlights the unique and rich history of the European construction sector, which has given shape to the region’s cultural heritage, infrastructure, homes and workplaces, but has not yet reached its full potential regarding digitalisation.
DigiPLACE is an EU-funded project with a budget of €1m, aimed at creating a roadmap for a digital platform for construction in Europe. The digital platform is an operating system that integrates different technologies and various applications and services.
