CEMEX Long on the hunt to lift the construction industry into a more technologically-advanced era, global building materials giant CEMEX is once again looking for startups for its annual competition. Advancing technology and innovation in the construction industry is of critical importance as companies deal with major workforce shortages, as well as safety, supply chain, sustainability requirements and other challenges. The first Construction Startup Competition took place in 2017, hosted by CEMEX Ventures, a venture capital and private equity branch of CEMEX. The startup companies recognized in this competition have gone on to make a name for themselves in the construction technology sector and often attract sizeable financing from investors.
