BUILDINGS AND CONSTRUCTION

Switzerland concentrates leading-edge research, industrial players, and scientific expertise across the entire construction innovation chain, from materials to systems to climate targets.

With 333,000 professionals and 15% of GDP, Switzerland’s construction sector combines top-tier science and global industrial capacity. ETH Zurich and EPFL lead research in low-carbon concrete, structural reuse (–94% CO₂), robotic earth construction, and digital twin buildings.  Swiss Headquartered Holcim and Sika drive international markets for green cement, adhesives, and facade systems. Swiss labs are among the few worldwide integrating LCA, circularity, and AI into building design and operation. Backed by Innosuisse and SWEET programs by the Swiss Federal Office of Energy supporting flagship R&D in net-zero buildings and systems, Switzerland provides a unique R&D ecosystem, benchmarking itself against global leaders not just innovating, but setting standards for future construction.
