Overview
The Exploit4InnoMat (E4IM) project aspires to provide a sustainable solution across Europe for designing, upscaling, and validating new material concepts for the building envelope to achieve the EC target for near-zero energy buildings (nZEB). The core mission is to establish a sustainable Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) across Europe supporting advanced material development.

- Save the Date: 17 - 18 November 2026 | SILO Brussels Exploit4InnoMat is going to EFFRA Manufacturing Partnership Days 2026! 🏭 ✨ We are bringing Europe's advanced materials ecosystem together to bridge the gap between pilot-scale innovation and full market commercialization. 💡What to expect at our presence: 🔹Exhibition Booth: Continuous showcase across both days featuring our 9 cross-border Pilot Lines and SEP Joint Venture model. 🔹 Private Workshop (17 Nov | 14:30 CET): High-impact flash pitches, a pan-European OITB policy
- CLEANHYPRO 2nd Wave Open Call is NOW OPEN! We are pleased to share an exciting opportunity from our fellow Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) project, CLEANHYPRO! The 2nd Wave Open Call offers fully subsidised technical and business support services, providing access to 9 upgraded European Pilot Lines to help test, validate and scale up innovative electrolysis technologies for clean hydrogen production. 🔬Working on electrolysis innovation? Whether your focus is on materials, components or system-level testing across AEL, PEM,
- Innovation becomes much more powerful when it is validated as part of a system, not only as an isolated material! At the Exploit4InnoMat demo site in Lavrion, CETMA BIOPANELS and 3D-printed façade components based on encapsulated expanded perlite with PCM are brought together within a broader living-lab environment. This creates a stronger validation story: multiple building-envelope solutions can be observed not only individually, but also as part of a more holistic approach to façade performance, thermal management and
- After pilot-line production comes the real test: application in an envelope system. As part of Exploit4InnoMat, CSIC’s advanced bioBricks are now moving from production into real-site implementation at the Lavrion validation site in Greece. The demonstrator applies the material in a traditional two-brick wall configuration, creating a direct link between ceramic-material development and practical construction use. This step helps bring the earlier Pilot Line 6 work closer to building-scale validation, while supporting future
- Exploit4InnoMat at the Digital Transformation Summit in Madeira! Representatives of Exploit4InnoMat presented the project at the F6S Innovation exhibition booth, showcasing its Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) ecosystem and how it supports the upscaling, testing and deployment of sustainable, nano-enabled building envelope materials. Throughout the event, participants had the opportunity to learn more about the ecosystem’s Single Entry Point, predictive modelling tools and advanced material concepts, as well as their
