What is this award and why was it given to Evocons?
The Sustainability Award, granted at the Alma Gran Canaria Awards, honors organizations driving tangible sustainability transformations through applied and proven technology. This is not about greenwashing or empty promises, it’s about real, measurable impact.
For EVOCONS, this award validates our mission: to transform the construction industry through technological innovation, automation, and positive environmental impact. It was awarded for the development of Evoconstructor®, the first multifunctional robot designed to automate construction processes with a sustainability-first mindset from inception.
The environmental challenge of the construction sector
The construction industry is responsible for approximately 38% of global CO₂ emissions related to energy, according to the United Nations. This results from resource-intensive processes, heavy machinery, material transport, and significant waste generation.
Furthermore, the lack of digitization and automation across many construction phases causes inefficiencies, errors, and rework, amplifying environmental impact and costs. In this context, adopting technologies like automated 3D printing is not just an opportunity, it’s an urgent necessity.
Evoconstructor®: redefining efficiency and environmental performance
This pressing need for change opens the door for new standards in construction, ones that combine technology, environmental responsibility, and productivity to reshape the way we build.
More than just a 3D printer, Evoconstructor® is the first multifunctional construction robot, capable of automating up to 60% of the building process. It integrates robotics, artificial intelligence, and 3D printing to optimize resources and minimize environmental impact.
What sets Evoconstructor® apart?
- Automates repetitive and high-risk tasks
- Reduces up to 30% of construction waste
- Minimizes emissions during execution
- Boosts efficiency without compromising quality
- On-site construction without the need for mass transport of materials or scaffolding
Real-world results: fewer emissions, less waste, more efficiency
This vision was validated in a pilot project in Gran Canaria, where Evoconstructor® demonstrated:
- 4x faster build times compared to traditional methods
- Up to 30% cost savings
- 40% reduction in CO₂ emissions (with potential up to 80%, depending on materials)
- Full adaptability to terrain and architectural design freedom
A solution validated in real conditions, while many competitors are still in the lab.
Contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Evocons’ technological innovation is measured not just in performance, but in alignment with global challenges. The Evoconstructor® robot directly contributes to several SDGs:
- SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure – Supports eco-conscious industrialization with disruptive construction technology.
- SDG 11: Cities and Communities – Enables low-impact, adaptable construction that supports inclusive and resilient urban development.
- SDG 13: Climate Action – Significantly cuts CO₂ emissions and resource use, helping reduce environmental footprint.
This alignment reinforces Evocons’ commitment to responsible, forward-looking development.
Leadership quote: vision from within
“We don’t just build structures, we build solutions with real impact, designed for a world that needs to evolve. Our technology is born from a commitment to efficiency, sustainability, and sector-wide transformation.”
Daniel Lorenzo, CTO of EVOCONS®
