Objective<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Metabuilding Labs project aims to create and implement a European Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) focused on the development and testing of building envelope solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The OITB provides services that support and accelerate innovation for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), helping them enhance their competitiveness against larger industry players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The metabuilding.com platform serves as a single access point to the innovation ecosystem, which includes the OITB Metabuilding Labs. This platform is administered and managed by the Metabuilding ASBL association.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Easier access to tests and support services from the idea phase to market entry is provided through the Metabuilding Single Entry Point and its platform.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Innovators will have structured access to pilot demonstration sites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      • During the development phase of the OITB (One Stop Shop for Innovative Technology and Business), testing infrastructures will be designed and developed across Europe, including:\n
          \n
        • Seven innovative facade test bench facilities (see photo) that will allow construction systems and solutions to be tested under real conditions, at a 1:1 scale, and at an affordable price.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Ten laboratory test facilities that will be developed or acquired by the network.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

          Mission<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

          NOBATEK is coordinating the project and is also responsible for the operating services related to O3BET. Regarding the equipment for the region, NOBATEK is finalizing the design of a O3BET test bench, which will be installed in Bordeaux and become operational in 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          An Air-Water-Wind (AEV) test bench, along with prototyping equipment, has been installed at COVERIS in Le Haillan (33). This equipment is utilized to test large-scale fa\u00e7ade elements such as curtain walls and cladding. In addition to being used by the COVERIS teams, NOBATEK and CSTB offer this equipment as part of a package dedicated to all French stakeholders involved in the product qualification process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
