Caidio – Concrete Intelligence

Concrete is the most human-made material in the world. Worldwide urbanization continuously increases the need for concrete, which is challenging our environment and atmosphere.

Today, concrete production creates 8% of global CO2 emissions. A recent report from the United Nations Environment Program showed that global material use will surge more than two-fold by 2060, with the construction sector comprising a third of this increase. In addition, concrete production is expected to contribute to 12% of global greenhouse gas emissions in 2060. Today in China, concrete production produces 15% of the national carbon emissions.

​

The concrete producers worldwide are now starting to face increasing pressure from the government to innovate and implement new technology solutions that reduce their carbon footprint significantly. Similarly, concrete production is often plagued with quality issues, especially in markets where the volume of production is massive, and good quality raw materials are becoming scarce.

Caidio is a Finnish climate tech startup that develops data-driven technologies to optimize the quality and productivity of global concrete construction. Concrete is the most used material in the urbanizing world. Even when our homes are not built from it, they are usually built on it. Due to the massive size of the industry, concrete production accounts for 10% of industrial water consumption and 8% of global CO2 emissions. Caidio’s technology helps the industry to become more sustainable as well as saves costs and optimizes quality in producing concrete.
