Kerakoll Innovative Group has forged institutional relations with Italian and international academia in order to develop and disseminate a new and more advanced construction culture.
The aim is to work together with universities and key international research bodies on integrated research programs in order to develop the building systems of the future. This commitment is coming to fruition through partnerships which encourage the integration of our business know-how with the scientific knowledge of the academic world.
