CxO roundtable discussion

🤝 Grateful to the esteemed CxOs and their representatives for a powerful and candid CxO roundtable discussion during the 5th TLC2 Week 2026 at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. The session brought together leaders across materials, technology, equipment, and construction to openly address how we move from intent to impact.

We explored three critical themes:
🤝 Decarbonisation at Scale – What truly unlocks adoption of low-carbon materials and systems
🤝 Technology & Industrialisation – How digital platforms, automation, modularisation, and 3D printing can redefine construction productivity
🤝 Collaboration & Market Transformation – How platforms like TLC2 can reduce risk, enable pilots, and drive ecosystem-level change

The discussions around identifying critical gaps in the industry, shaping TLC2’s strategic roadmap, and framing impactful policies were truly enriching. Your perspectives on how academia and industry can work together to drive meaningful change will greatly guide our future initiatives.

Thank you for your time, wisdom, and commitment to helping industries benefit through collaborative innovation and thought leadership. Looking forward to building on these conversations!
