In addition, he has participated in numerous round tables, where industry achievements and next steps were discussed.
CEMEX Ventures serves as a strategic investment vehicle that brings innovative new concepts to CEMEX and explores the day-to-day challenges of the construction industry. It activated numerous ways to nurture its investment portfolio, which allows the best startups to solve inefficiencies from a technological and innovative standpoint. Its media recognition, growing portfolio of 10 startups across the construction value chain, and participation in its 2019 Construction Startup Competition, keep both CEMEX and CEMEX Ventures at the forefront of innovation, where they say they are driving the construction revolution.
