Last week, the BuildUPspeed consortium gathered in Vienna for our 8th project meeting — a full day of technical workshops, strategic discussions and collaborative work across four key areas. Here’s what we covered:
🗺️ Market Activation Platform (MAP)
The platform is taking shape as a one-stop hub for renovation professionals, featuring:
→ A catalogue of experts, industrialised solutions and success stories
→ A feasibility verification tool to assess solution applicability to specific projects
→ A connection space linking local and European renovation initiatives
📊 Ecosystem Performance Monitoring (WP5)
A template was presented covering general building data, renovation type, key indicators and baseline comparisons — with adaptations planned for projects using circular strategies.
📋 Policy Recommendations
→ Harmonisation of standards for industrialised renovation solutions
→ Financial support mechanisms for Pop-up Factories
→ Integration of the MAP into national advisory services
→ Capacity building and EU-level knowledge coordination
Country-specific recommendations were also shared for the five national ecosystems:
🇦🇹 Austria · 🇫🇷 France · 🇮🇹 Italy · 🇳🇱 Netherlands · 🇪🇸 Spain
🏭 Pop-up Factory
Pilot progress across ecosystems and mapped how Pop-up Factory outputs feed into the MAP and policy recommendations ahead of project closure.
🎓 KER
A working group session on how to pitch the project’s Key Enabling Results — a crucial communication exercise as BuildUPspeed enters its final dissemination phase.
We are already planning the BuildUPspeed final event. Stay tuned for more details!
A great day of collaboration in Vienna. Many thanks to all partners and to our Project Officer Luca Angelino for the valuable feedback.
