Applied R&D
- Innovation serves as a crucial driver for elevating productivity and enhancing capacity of the construction industry, and applied R&D is fundamental to driving innovation in this sector. Our mission is to lead the construction industry to strengthen innovation applications, accelerate the transformation and application of research results, thereby creating new value and supporting the high-quality development of the sector, and accelerating the development of new quality productive forces.
Collaboration and Piloting
- BTRi serves as an institute dedicated to the construction industry in driving applied R&D in Hong Kong. We believe that the key to successfully promoting applied R&D lies in fostering robust collaborative partnerships with industry associations both domestically and internationally, as well as universities, the government entities and private sector. To achieve this, we will strategically identify high-impact applied R&D projects and, in collaboration with our stakeholders, provide support to these projects through matching and piloting applications in suitable public works projects through close liaison with the government, followed by an extension of these applications into the private sector.
Innovation in the Built Environment
- BTRi will provide total solution for innovation technology and materials through piloting application and facilitating recognition and acceptance by relevant authorities and regulators. BTRi will also steer and coordinate site applications of innovations in strategic projects, as well as collect and centralise the performance data. With these data, BTRi will further develop and formulate the relevant standards and requirements for the innovations. These are important references for facilitating the relevant authorities to accept construction innovation to enable industry-wide application and benefiting the construction industry at large.
