The Construction Technology Centre (CTCON) held its last board meeting of the year at its facilities located in the La Estrella Industrial Estate in Molina de Segura. The event was attended by José Antonio Fernández Lladó, Director General of Roads of the CARM, Joaquín Gómez, Director of INFO, and José Ramón Díez de Revenga, Minister of Development and Infrastructures of the CARM.
After the approval of internal issues at the centre, the main challenges and new lines of research faced by the Technology Centre in the run-up to 2022 were presented. The Board of Directors ended with a debate in which doubts were raised regarding the environment, the carbon footprint and its weight in tenders, the advantages of innovative public procurement and the arrival of European funds and the doubts raised by their implementation.
The centre's objective for 2022 is to become a reference for all those companies that need the tools for continuous improvement and increased competitiveness through Research, Development, Innovation and Technology Transfer in the construction sector.
In addition to the Board of Directors, the centre has held an Extraordinary Assembly to approve a modification of its Statutes that allows the centre's activities to adapt to new social realities.
José Ramón Díez de Revenga was in charge of closing the Extraordinary Assembly in which he stressed that, as in 2021, "the construction sector is one of the engines of economic recovery" and that it needs a transformation looking at the circular economy and sustainability.
