EIC Pathfinder Portfolio “DigiTrio”
The EIC Pathfinder Portfolio “DigiTrio” unites ten ambitious projects and research consortia funded under the Horizon Europe EIC Pathfinder Challenge, each exploring “Digitalization for a Novel Triad of Design, Fabrication, and Materials” and the transformative potential of digitalisation within the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) sector. Together, we form a strategic research ecosystem to reshape how buildings and structures are conceived, built, and perform. DigiTrio promotes collaboration across disciplines and borders, offering unique opportunities to build future value chains, strengthen industrial partnerships, and accelerate commercialisation potential through joint portfolio activities. DigiTrio is a dynamic platform for innovation at the intersection of science, technology, and architecture, advancing sustainable and intelligent solutions for the built environment.
