KIRAHub - the innovation ecosystem of the built environment
KIRAHub is a multifaceted and transparent ecosystem of the real estate and construction industry. Our vision is to make Finland the forerunner in the sustainable digitalization of the built environment.
We progress sustainable digitalization economically, ecologically and humanely in the built environment. Together we grow the scale of conversations, bring more points of view to them, help progress and produce the ideas born from these conversations and aid in bringing new innovations to the forefront of the entire global industry.
We’ve gathered a wide array of ways to participate in our activities and in the digitalization of the built environment on our website. Join us in getting inspired, sharing knowledge and creating a better future for all of us!

Let’s co-operate!
What would you as an actor in the construction industry want to co-operate on? Or is there something you need assistance with? Below you can see a portfolio of our past projects and find examples of the different things that we do. The future isn’t handed to us – we need to make it together. That’s why we’re open to trying new methods and ways of working. Hopefully we get to be inspired and excited with you and build a better world!
