The network was created to strengthen collaboration between regional stakeholders, support knowledge exchange, and enable more targeted implementation of circular construction solutions across different thematic areas.
Each hub contributed specific expertise, creating a complementary framework for cross-border cooperation and innovation.
Regional Focus Areas
The network included specialised contributions across partner regions, including:
- Croatia – legal frameworks and regulatory perspectives
- Italy – digital tools and platform-based innovation
- Czechia – circular design principles
- Hungary – policy implementation and practical application
- Poland – market demand and uptake of circular solutions
- Germany – research and development of innovative materials
- Austria – training and capacity-building approaches
- Slovakia – industrial symbiosis and resource exchange
- Slovenia – coordination and integration of hub activities across the network
Strategic Value for ReBuilt
The Network of Hubs enabled a stronger regional approach to circular and digital construction by connecting expertise, stakeholders, and practical solutions across borders.
It supported:
- Cross-border knowledge exchange
- Co-creation of circular construction solutions
- Regional implementation of innovation activities
- Stronger circular value chains and industrial cooperation
- Capacity building and stakeholder engagement
- Long-term collaboration supporting sustainable transformation in the built environment
As part of the ReBuilt legacy, the Network of Hubs remains one of the project’s most important strategic outputs, strengthening cooperation and supporting more resilient circular construction ecosystems across Central Europe.
