On the 19th of February we launched the Construction Startup Competition 2019, the biggest global challenge for construction entrepreneurs. We are looking for startups which offer solutions that effectively tackle the challenges faced by the construction industry; ambitious companies poised to innovate this industry and spearhead its transformation.

- Our approach The startup must be able to tackle at least one of our 6 focus areas, or, alternatively, they must be able to offer a solution for one of the construction industry’s pain points.
- Fit into CEMEX We evaluate whether or not the startup will fit in strategically with CEMEX, and, as well as assessing the disruptive technologies that they bring to the table, we will also determine the way in which they will boost CEMEX’s value proposition.
- Presence in CEMEX countries. Their presence in the countries in which CEMEX operates will be valued positively, nonetheless, startups which offer the possibility of breaking into new markets will also be considered favourably.
