This is us
Since November 2021, a dedicated team of leading researchers has been working on putting together a compelling vision for Lusatia. Our aim is to advance a transformation in construction. We hope to reach this goal by making use of resource-saving, climate-neutral and high-performance materials in combination with pioneering manufacturing processes, artificial intelligence and the digitalization of the entire construction industry.
With a construction research center, we want to offer the community in Lusatia realistic prospects for the future. We are convinced that the experience and skills available in Lusatia, thanks to its industry steeped in tradition, will be a great asset to work conducted in a construction research center.
