Digitalisation in the EU construction industry: Needs, trends and opportunities

As sustainability and regulatory compliance continue to shape the construction sector, digitalisation is emerging as a critical enabler of progress. In his presentation at the European Mortar Summit, Lars Christian Fredenlund, CEO and Co-founder of Cobuilder, will explore how the transition from traditional paper-based processes to digital workflows can unlock substantial value for the industry.

With a focus on practical experience and lessons learned from Cobuilder’s collaboration with stakeholders across Europe, the session will examine key trends driving digital transformation. Topics include the role of structured data in meeting regulatory requirements, improving operational efficiency and supporting sustainability goals.

Lars Chr. Fredenlund will outline how digital tools are not only helping companies navigate complex obligations but are also creating opportunities for innovation, collaboration and long-term growth. His insights aim to equip construction professionals with the knowledge to embrace digitalisation as a strategic advantage in an increasingly demanding landscape.
