OUR MODEL

SkreenHouse is an active, internally managed investor in early-stage construction industry innovators. In partnership with our network of construction and quarry operators, our lead sponsors, industry experts and industry customers, we actively work with investee companies to help road-test new solutions on real-world projects and then scale up their deployment at pace.

OUR STRATEGY

We focus on innovation in sustainable materials, green construction, and industrial advancements which spearhead the greenification of infrastructure development. SkreenHouse uses its proven technical expertise, market knowledge and practical experience to assess the economic, environmental and social value in each of the above fields. As the construction industry is facing mounting pressure to upgrade its methods and materials on environmental grounds, the need for true innovation is growing stronger by the day. Some call it the next industrial revolution, we call it a major opportunity.

OUR CHALLENGE

As the Western world is fast moving towards increased awareness on matters of climate and the environment, storm clouds are gathering over the construction industry. Needless to say, the world won’t simply stop building in the hope of offsetting current predictions on climate change and environmental damage. Nonetheless, there can be little doubt that the next decades will see an unprecedented push towards tougher environmental regulation by national and international regulators alike.

As a result, the construction industry’s traditionally reactive attitude towards regulatory change coupled with its long history of underinvestment in R&D is almost certain to become a major challenge to future profitability. SkreenHouse offers a holistic solution to this challenge by allowing our strategic partners and portfolio companies to keep ahead of the rapidly changing regulatory ecosystem, granting them exclusive access to a large library of innovative technologies designed to offset the financial and operational impact of tougher regulations while also providing them with quarterly strategic analyses of impending changes in the realm of ESG. You may not be able to outrun the storm completely, but with SkreenHouse, you’re geared up, kitted up, and ready to face it head on.
