1st Prize - Team Mojito

2nd Prize - Team 7

3rd Prize - Team X

Technology experts (from various fields) are invited to join this 48-hour hackathon to collaborate and produce building solutions that can:

• Reduce the embodied carbon footprint of a reference building
• Provide smart use of concrete
• Pave the way for innovative designs

Why join the Zero Carbon Hack ?

This is an international event where you can meet other passionate practitioners to take on the challenge and collaborate with international experts.

Our operations produce cement, aggregates and ready-mix concrete which are used in building projects ranging from affordable housing and small, local projects to the biggest, most technically and architecturally challenging infrastructure projects. As urbanization increasingly impacts people and the planet, we provide innovative products and building solutions with a clear commitment to social and environmental sustainability.

Together with our partners and customers, our best-in-class R&D teams develop the most innovative products, solutions, and services, as well as advanced manufacturing processes. LafargeHolcim Research & Development (R&D) is driven by our customers, who face today’s major challenges: achieving energy efficiency, lowering cost of construction, reducing our environmental footprint, and meeting high standards of aesthetics, health, comfort, and well-being.

Minimize the embodied carbon footprint of a reference building via design levers.
