What does innovation in concrete decarbonisation really look like on the ground?
This session brings together industry leaders from across the construction value chain to explore how new approaches in data, site intelligence and material selection are helping to drive measurable carbon reductions in practice.

From better carbon data and smarter decisions informed by live site monitoring, to advances in concrete materials themselves, the panel will examine how different forms of innovation are contributing to lower-carbon outcomes. Through real project examples, panellists will share how these approaches are being applied in practice, the challenges and opportunities they present, and what it takes to turn innovation into meaningful impact. Above all, the discussion will highlight the vital role of collaboration between contractors, engineers and material suppliers in accelerating concrete decarbonisation.
