Digital construction hackathon: from idea to solution in 48 hours

Ehitusleht featured the annual AEC Hackathon, highlighting how construction professionals use these intensive 48-hour events to develop innovative solutions and test new concepts.

CEO Renee Puusepp shared our positive experiences participating in hackathons across Helsinki, Copenhagen, and Pärnu: “It’s a very good experience. Anyone who wants to do innovation should constantly think about new opportunities and test them. I don’t see any point in doing this secretly.”

The article describes how we use hackathons to prototype new ideas with real users. At the previous Pärnu event, we built a solution called “Modular Designer” for rapid factory building design and visualization, testing it directly with potential users present at the event.

This year’s AEC Hackathon focuses particularly on building renovation challenges, aiming to find collaborative solutions that benefit the entire industry rather than individual companies.
