Climate Smart Innovation Exhibition & Award (CSI)

We invite industry innovators to apply for CSI and get an opportunity to show their products and solutions that address climate change mitigation or adaptation relevant to the building industry. CSI is a platform to connect startups working on climate tech innovation for the building sector, with investors, and potential customers. The CSI exhibition and pitches are held at the SDI Finals attended by 800 people, where these innovators also inspire the next generation of students and connect with leading practitioners from the design, construction, and real estate industry. The innovations on display have ranged from new, low-carbon building materials to technology that captures water from the atmosphere. This is the third edition. Check out details of the 2023-24 and 2022-23 edition.
