BUILD THE FUTURE WITH SAINT-GOBAIN

APAC STARTUP CHALLENGE

 

Are you an innovative startup looking to make a tangible impact on the world?

Join us in tackling the pressing issue of carbon emissions in the construction industry. With the built environment accounting for 39% of annual global carbon emissions (source: UNEP), now is the time to accelerate decarbonization efforts.

As the global leader in light and sustainable construction, Saint-Gobain is committed to building a more sustainable future with clean and green building technology. From 3D printing and energy-efficient materials to immersive technologies and enhanced delivery optimization, we’re looking to collaborate with startups in APAC region that are committed to leveraging technology and innovation to build a better world.

Selected startups will get to be fast-tracked to SLINGSHOT’s Top 50 startups. They will also receive funding opportunities, mentorship, and access to invaluable resources to turn their ideas into reality.
