MOD

🌟 A Full-Circle Moment for MOD! 🌟 In January last year, MOD was just an idea—a vision to revolutionize construction by bridging design and manufacturing. The Industrialized Construction Forum at Stanford University was one of the channels that inspired Marc and me to dream big and push forward. It symbolized what innovation in our industry could achieve and motivated us to create something transformative. Fast-forward one year, and we couldn’t be prouder to share that MOD has been invited to present on this prestigious stage. It’s an incredible honor to showcase how far we’ve come in such a short time and contribute to shaping the future of construction. At MOD, our AI-powered platform empowers project developers and architects to: ✅ Evaluate the prefab potential of their projects ✅ Integrate prefab elements seamlessly into any design early in the planning phase With over 4,000 suppliers, MOD now hosts the world’s largest library of prefab solutions, giving unparalleled access to scalable, efficient, and sustainable construction options. At the Industrialized Construction Forum, I’ll share how MOD’s unique open-source approach is building the global prefab ecosystem and supply chain. Our platform goes beyond tools—it’s a collaborative ecosystem designed to connect all stakeholders, from designers to manufacturers, and unlock the true potential of industrialized construction. A heartfelt thank you to Martin Fischer, Daniel M. Hall, Jerker Lessing, and CIFE - Center for Integrated Facility Engineering for this opportunity to present MOD’s vision in front of such an esteemed audience. 💡 Join us at the Industrialized Construction Forum 2025 on February 3rd and 4th to explore how AI and open-source innovation are transforming the way the world builds. 👉 More Information: https://lnkd.in/g9uqvHn9 👉 Register Now: https://lnkd.in/gkfnGSmA This moment reminds us of how far we’ve come—and how much further we can go. Let’s continue to innovate and build a better future—together. #ICF2025 #MODConstruction #IndustrializedConstruction #Innovation #AIinConstruction #Stanford #FutureOfConstruction

🤶🎄🎅 𝗗𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗧𝗲𝗰𝗵, 𝗞𝗜 𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗼𝗧 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗝𝗮𝗵𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗸𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗴 🎅🎄🤶 Jetzt ist das Jahr so schnell vorübergezogen und wir hatten kaum Zeit zum Verschnaufen. Bei so vielen wichtigen Nachrichten aus dem Tech-Business für die Bau- + Immobilienbranche in den vergangenen Wochen und Monaten ist uns doch tatsächlich das Feiern unseres mittlerweile 50. SwissPropTech-Newsletters durch die Lappen gerutscht! Mehr als zwei Jahre berichten wir zwei nun schon über News, Insights und junge Start-ups in der und für die Real Estate Industry - und scheuen uns dabei auch nicht für einen Blick über die Grenzen, denn wie wir ja alle wissen: Technology is everywhere! Spass beiseite: Wir haben uns dieses Jahr auch immer wieder gefreut, Technologie mal Technologie sein zu lassen, und uns mit Euch, Auge in Auge, in der echten und nicht der virtuellen Welt zu treffen, zu reden, zu diskutieren. Danke an dieser Stelle an alle, die uns Ihre Ideen, Konzepte und Meinungen mitteilten, und jene, die uns ihr(e) Ohr(en) liehen für Inputs, Tipps und Gedankenspiele. (...)

🌍 Rethinking Construction: The Open Source Revolution in AEC 🚀 The AEC industry has long faced challenges like inefficiencies, high costs, and fragmented workflows. But open source is changing the game. In my latest article, I explore: ✔️ How open source fosters collaboration and innovation ✔️ The benefits of open standards for interoperability ✔️ Why open source is key to a scalable, sustainable future This isn’t just about software—it’s about transforming the way we build. Let’s discuss how we can break silos and unlock the full potential of construction together. 👉 Read the full article here 👇 What are your thoughts on open source in AEC? Can it truly redefine the industry?

What is a Hackathon actually? 👩💻👨💻🧑💻 Idea: In our daily life, we are often caught up with meetings, tasks and deadlines. At a hackathon, we find the time to work on innovative ideas that we would otherwise never find time for. And the best thing: we don’t do it alone. There are other like-minded people that build the next amazing prototype with us! Concept: 🤝 Bring 150+ digital doers (and those who want to become one) together ⚡️ Encourage them to collaboratively build solutions that solve existing problems from their daily work 🫵 3-4 challenges are predefined by industry partners, up to 10 challenges are introduced spontaneously by the participants themselves 🏃♀️ All in one weekend Atmosphere: 🌏 International community 🎙️ Tech talks from leading experts 👩💻 A variety of workspaces ensure a unique atmosphere 🍕 Regular food breaks & drinks for easy networking 👉 Do you want to position your company as a leader in technological innovation? Are you looking for talents to fuel your digital transformation? Please reach out to Maximilian if you are interested in becoming a partner.
