Creating a more sustainable built environment

Ekotekt production fteam and 3D-printed hempcrete components in Aarhus, Denmark.

Ekotekt founders and production team at the robotic production facility in Denmark.

Ekotekt is a construction technology company founded in Helsinki, Finland, in 2021.

Before founding Ekotekt, it’s founders had worked as architects across several countries and repeatedly encountered the same challenges in construction: excessive material use, energy-intensive production and high carbon emissions. Yet practical alternatives suitable for mainstream construction remained limited.

Ekotekt was founded to develop better ways of designing and delivering buildings. Several years of research and development into material-efficient structural design, bio-based materials and automated production led to HempCon 3D.

HempCon 3D is designed to reduce material use and environmental impact while fitting within familiar construction processes. The system supports architectural flexibility and efficient production, transport and installation.

Production is based in Aarhus, Denmark, where the first full-scale HempCon 3D external wall elements have been manufactured and installed for a residential project.
