3DGeoCarbon transforms construction with carbon-negative concrete made from industrial side streams. Using robotics and optimized design, we cut material use by 75% and eliminate wasteful formwork. This slashes CO2, improves site safety, and solves labor shortages via automation. By 2030, we’ll create 300 high-skilled jobs, turning heavy labor into stable tech careers while building the resilient, net-zero infrastructure society needs for a sustainable future.
Vision & ImpactOur vision is a net-zero world built on carbon-negative infrastructure. Our mission is to decarbonize construction using advanced robotics and green materials to eliminate CO2 and halve costs, making sustainable infrastructure the standard across the globe.
CollaborationThe EIC is our vital partner. Franc Mouwen’s Built Environment portfolio has created strategic synergies, while EIC industry events have granted direct access to global leaders. This ecosystem has accelerated 3DGeoCarbon, scaling our carbon-negative robotics from lab to market for a greener future.
What's next ?We are scaling 3DGeoCarbon via Forge 2, our next-gen automated platform. By ramping up industrial capacity, we will deliver carbon-negative foundations at scale, establishing robotic 3D printing as the global commercial standard for sustainable, net-zero infrastructure.
The EIC's belief in our vision has been a fundamental catalyst for our growth. Their comprehensive financial support—transitioning from initial grants to equity investment—has been transformative, notably bringing the European Investment Bank (EIB) to our board. This backing provided more than just capital; it provided the institutional credibility required to scale a deep-tech venture in a traditional industry.
Beyond the funding, the EIC has consistently championed our progress by inviting us to high-level industry events and facilitating direct introductions to global partners and strategic investors. We are especially grateful for the leadership of Programme Manager Franc Mouwen. His proactive approach to creating synergies within the Built Environment portfolio has bridged the gap between innovation and industry, making the path to largescale entrepreneurship feel both accessible and achievable.
