INNOVATION DAY 2026

The Innovation Day is entering its 5th edition this year – and yes, that definitely feels like a milestone worth celebrating!

What started as an idea has today become far more than just an event. It is proof of what becomes possible when people come together with passion, curiosity, and the will to make a difference. Perhaps some of you are wondering: Why do we invest so much energy into this day, year after year? We believe that great things don’t happen overnight. We could focus on quick fixes and short-term wins – but that is not our ambition. We think bigger. We want innovations that make our company strong and competitive not just today, but in the long run. Innovations we will still be proud of ten years from now. Will every idea lead to a breakthrough? Not always. But do we give every idea the chance to reach its full potential – and share the best of them across all locations? Absolutely.

The Innovation Day itself is the best proof of this: every edition has been bigger, more vibrant, and more impactful than the one before. More participants, more enthusiasm, more impact – and an event that has long since become part of our shared company culture. Five years. Many ideas. One shared belief:

Doubt Less. Build More. Trust the Process.

Are you one of the partners of Innovation Day 2026?

Smart Site Monitoring

Our Innovation Day partner Oculai uses cameras installed on construction cranes and artificial intelligence to record construction progress and all processes on site automatically and in real time.
The technology independently identifies individual work steps and building components, and converts this information without any manual effort into digital daily construction reports and up-to-date schedules.
Thanks to this automated documentation, site managers save valuable time on administrative tasks and receive transparent data to boost productivity and reduce costs.

Augmented Wood

Woodoo transforms low-quality or undervalued timber (French poplar) into an extremely high-performance building material called Augmented Wood™.
By compacting the wood at a molecular level, Woodoo endows it with exceptional mechanical properties and remarkable durability, enabling the production of load-bearing components and façade elements that can replace aluminium, reinforced concrete or steel.
This technology offers a low-carbon alternative to conventional building materials – depending on the application, the carbon footprint can be reduced by up to 90 per cent – whilst enabling faster and more cost-effective construction.

Reimagining Timber

Wood K-Plus develops innovative wood and composite materials as well as sustainable manufacturing processes to optimise the use of renewable raw materials in the construction and industrial sectors.
One of its key technologies enables what is known as ‘smart timber’, in which invisible sensors are built directly into components to monitor key parameters such as moisture or mechanical stress throughout their entire service life.
This approach protects structures from hidden damage, significantly extends their service life and makes it possible to replace conventional fossil-based materials with environmentally friendly, bio-based alternatives.

Hybrid Components

The Peikko Group is a leading global supplier of slim-floor structures and connection technology. Its innovative solutions make planning and construction faster, safer and more sustainable.
For modern timber construction, the company offers systems such as the TICCO® wall plate – a concealed bolted connection that enables particularly quick and easy installation of solid timber walls.
There is also a particular focus on the circular economy, for example through reusable steel composite beams such as the DELTABEAM® Green Reuse, which can be easily removed at the end of a building’s service life and reused in new projects.
