Applications open for ACA Innovation Challenge 2025

The ACA Innovation Challenge 2025, an open innovation programme organised by the ACA Group, is back for its third edition. The initiative continues to support the development of innovative solutions for the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) sectors, as well as the water, environment and forestry industries.

This year's edition features four strategic challenges focusing particularly on technology, sustainability and waste recovery.

One of the highlights of the event is Tech4Build – Integrating AI in Construction, which explores how artificial intelligence can be applied to optimise construction processes and accelerate digital transformation on building sites. A €5,500 prize is on offer, along with support to scale the proposed solution, networking opportunities with key industry players, and the potential for investment and collaboration with the ACA Group.

Applications are now open. Full details are available here.
