INTERFACEMA

Minority Investment by Strategic Partner (2019)

Sector: Proptech

 

Context:

Construction belongs to the industries with the highest digitization potential. While digital solutions are fairly widespread throughout the planning phase, construction itself, a naturally analogue process, subject to many external factors, can be famously inefficient. Digital solutions may contribute to optimize organization and processes over the entire value chain – on to administration and revitalization of buildings – thereby creating new values.
