HOLCIM Philippines opened their first innovation hub facility in Davao City, with an aim of providing better building solutions.

In a media briefing, Holcim Philippines president and chief operating officer Horia Adrian explained that the hub showcases the sustainable building solutions as well as serving co-creation lab to accelerate low-carbon, circular, and energy-efficient structures worldwide.

“We will let our clients and partners experience virtually, the global Holcim Innovation Hub, located in France. We will showcase exciting new materials for more sustainable and innovative construction,” Adrian said.
 

Adrian said that the Innovation Hub is part of the commitment in supporting the country's development, in particular to the "rapidly urbanizing Mindanao, which can benefit from innovative solutions, so essential structures are built with less impact on the environment."
 

He then urged city residents to explore Holcim's showroom, which is highlighted by innovative solutions in decarbonizing buildings throughout their life cycle.

Among the solutions displayed are low-carbon materials such as ECOPact concrete and ECOPlanet cement, and circular construction solutions, such as Holcim's proprietary ECOCycle circular technology platform, that recycles construction demolition materials into new building solutions.
