AEC Hackathon @
Using Tech to Build CO2-Neutral, Biodiverse, and Engaged Communities
From 28 February to 2 March, 2025, we hosted the AEC Hackathon, bringing together 100+ brilliant minds from across disciplines – engineers, architects, computer scientists, BIM developers, design thinkers, anthropologists, and tech enthusiasts – to tackle some of the most pressing challenges of our time.
This year’s hackathon delved into three significant dilemmas:
- How to create a CO2-neutral built environment.
- How to implement and monitor biodiversity solutions while preventing value chain losses.
- How to expand the value of user engagement and citizen participation.
Over three intensive days, participants brainstormed, prototyped, and presented innovative solutions that push the boundaries of technology, design, and collaboration. From software tools to new workflows and actionable concepts, the ideas generated here could help shape the future of the built environment and accelerate the green and social transition in the AEC industries.
What is AEC Hackathon?
AEC (Architecture, Engineering, Construction) Hackathon is an organization that, since its origin in 2013, has held events in numerous locations; e.g. Berlin, Shanghai, and Paris. It was created to give those designing, building, and maintaining our built environment the opportunity to collaborate with cutting-edge technologies and its developers and designers. Over the course of three days, teams compete against each other while trying to find solutions for the problems they face in their everyday work.
It has quickly become a community of innovators that includes all elements of the built environment, not just AEC.
