About This Episode
In this insightful episode, Patric Hellermann explores three critical developments shaping the construction technology landscape in 2025. He delves into the massive demand-supply gap in construction, analyzes the evolving role of software and AI companies in value creation, and discusses the strategic framework for identifying non-obvious market opportunities.
In This Episode
Deep dive into construction's unprecedented growth trajectory, revealing the need to build one New York City equivalent monthly and construct 75% of 2050's infrastructure within the next decade
Comprehensive analysis of the growing labor crisis in construction, with 2.5 million workers missing in Europe, major retirement waves in the US, and 25% of UK workers retiring by 2030
Exploration of the shifting dynamics in construction tech unicorns, where only 25% are pure software companies, and how AI's emergence is reshaping this distribution in 2025
Strategic discussion of the "Hidden in Spite of Obvious" framework for identifying truly innovative opportunities in construction tech, moving beyond overcrowded AI spaces to find category-creating potential
