As the famous saying goes: 鈥淭his is one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind鈥� –Neil Armstrong.听听听
There comes a time in every startup鈥檚 journey when a jump, risk, chance, or #Leap must be made because of the potential benefits it can bring to not just the few, but the many. Every great innovation of our time started from somewhere, and it usually began with a promising new business model and hardworking team to ensure its success 鈥� just like yours! But nobody said that you had to take this leap alone鈥�
CEMEX Ventures Leaplab
That鈥檚 why we launched CEMEX Ventures Leaplab, our intensive acceleration program for innovative startups that address the most critical challenges of the construction industry. In its first edition, Leaplab will collaborate with a cohort of 5 thoughtfully selected startups with solutions applicable to the construction industry. Working with CEMEX鈥檚 business units in six geographies, the startups will work to scale and validate their solutions during an intensive 14-week period with the support of close to 100 experts providing mentorship and real-world experience.听听
