"The Fibers-Energivie Cluster is very enthusiastically involved in this accelerator, which comes at the right time at the time of the recovery plan to support the innovation essential to our sector on the 3 axes of the Tomorrow matrix carried out in 2019 by Bpifrance for the construction sector: digitization, off-site construction and green, modular and connected buildings. "

A device that follows the Matrix Tomorrow Bpifrance:

Launched in March 2021, the first promotion of the Construction Accelerator is a continuation of a study carried out by Bpifrance in 2019 on the sector: the Matrix Tomorrow. This Matrix made it possible to identify the major axes of transformation that the sector would have to face:

• Digital transformation, with BIM;
• The industrialization of the sector, with the Off-Site;
• The building of tomorrow, green, modular and connected.

These three axes will be the common thread of the acceleration program this year, which the accelerated managers will have the opportunity to study this year with the speakers of our partner school CentraleSupélec and CCCABTP.

With this mechanism, the Banque des Territoires and Bpifrance are supporting the construction sector in a context of recovery following the COVID-19 crisis. They are mobilizing to ensure that the construction sector is part of a zero carbon path by 2050 and the goal of net zero soil waterproofing. The Banque des Territoires and Bpifrance wish to support the development of companies on a renewed vision of the sector: the building of tomorrow will be digitized, sustainable, inclusive; in particular, in the context of this first accelerator.
