EDB launches pre-project innovation initiative

[SINGAPORE] To facilitate innovation in the building industry, the Economic Development Board (EDB) on Monday launched the Pre-Project Innovation Consortium (PPIC) initiative, during the annual International Green Building Conference, organised by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore.

Under PPIC, developers and architecture firms will take on the role of consortium leads, working with building technology and materials companies to carry out research and development (R&D) work.

These R&D projects will be geared towards developing sustainable building solutions for use in the tropical environment of the region.
