MIT Node: SustainabilityHACK 2024 (2-day hackathon)

Did you know? The buildings and construction sector is by far the largest emitter of greenhouse gases, accounting for a staggering 37% of global emissions, according to UN Environment Programme. 

Powered by the MIT Node, make an impact with industry practitioners and like-minded peers to design a more sustainable future:

• Improving safety and wellbeing practices in the workplace 
• Reinforcing the circular economy to reduce and recycle waste, and reuse building materials
• Introduce new energy solutions in the construction life cycle
   

Supported by HKPC Inno Space and The Construction Industry Council, SustainabilityHACK 2024 invites the community to explore ways to build processes and practices for “Sustainable Construction”, through innovative new ideas and adoption of new technologies.

Join us as we unite innovators to reimagine a sustinable construction culture, and to improve safety and wellbeing practices in the workplace.
