An Offsite Hub for the Housing Challenge
The European Affordable Housing Plan, much like the Green Homes Directive, urgently highlights the need to invest in new construction methods and offsite building techniques to tackle the major challenge of ensuring both accessibility and sustainability in housing.
Our country, in particular, requires a transformation of construction practices to integrate economic and social sustainability, quality, and durability, with the ultimate goal of creating an inclusive, future-proof built environment—both in renovation and new construction.
EDERA, an innovation center promoted by the construction and social housing sectors and a national reference point for offsite construction, is launching Offsite Hub Italy: a platform designed to leverage the consolidated experience of the EnergieSprong network, which for over four years has brought together nearly 150 enterprises, housing companies, research institutions, and public authorities around the topic of industrialized deep renovation. This expertise is now combined with offsite construction skills for new builds, particularly in affordable housing and temporary housing.
The platform represents the first and largest Italian network of skills and relationships focused on national priorities, positioning itself as a key interlocutor to guide, coordinate, and develop the necessary innovation.
On March 3, 2026, we gathered with leading Italian stakeholders in the housing and construction sectors to create a shared space for discussion and collaboration.
The event, open to key actors in the Italian housing and construction ecosystem—including companies, developers, designers, and managers of public and private real estate assets— provided an opportunity to share projects, ideas, needs, and initiatives, fostering connections and jointly planning a common working agenda.
Join Offsite Hub, the network of established expertise supporting the construction sector in its social and environmental transition.
