Bring your innovations to life by collaborating with Arup, a leading sustainable development consultant with deep domain knowledge and a powerful network.
Arup is looking to partner with start ups to design ideas that can make cities healthier, thriving places to live. The Innovation Challenge forms part of Arup’s Venture activities that forge innovative ecosystems across the private and public sector to create and implement sustainable technologies, products and services for the built environment.
With 70% of the population expected to live in cities in 2050, establishing a healthy urban environment is crucial for people's wellbeing. Focused on resilience, cities are being called on to regenerate natural ecosystems. The integration of nature-based solutions, such as green and blue infrastructure, with urban systems presents a vast field for innovation to address the current and future challenges of a changing climate.
