NOVEDGE : Tell us a little bit about AECO Space and what you do?

AECO Space: AECO Spaceis a technology startup  serving the architectural, engineering and construction industries since 2018.  We operate in more than 12 markets, disrupting the traditional approach to using technologies in the creative and proptech domains.  Our brand promise is built around three main pillars:  

 • TECHNOLOGY: Distributing the latest technologies that have the best balance of price, quality and efficiency 

 • EDUCATION: Creating educational and training content to empower creators enhance their workflows and be more         competitive   

 • COMMUNITY: Bringing creators, studios and clients from the architectural and construction industries in a mutually beneficial ecosystem 

NOVEDGE : How did the idea come about?

AECO Space: The architecture and construction sector has been hit hard by Covid-19 and the deepening economic recession that followed. During these challenging times all players in the industry turn to new channels for learning and collaboration in order to be successful. Our company has been focused on software sales and software education till now, and over the past five years we’ve  connected countless professionals who wanted to get in touch with business partners, clients and employers.  That’s how the idea of a global platform was born. So, at the end of 2021 we received a first round of funding and started developing a platform for job-sharing, business listing and networking, allowing hundreds of architects, engineers and clients to  build a community and a project-sharing ecosystem. We want to help the AEC sector become truly global and move beyond borders.

NOVEDGE : How do you evaluate the professionals seeking to be featured on your platform?

AECO Space: When creating a Talent Profile, we encourage all talents to list their education and certification, as well as add a thorough project portfolio showcasing their skills. This enables employers to filter through the right candidates with ease and start a conversation with Talents who have a complete profile. At a future stage of development, we will also add a rating system that allows users of the platform to rate their experience with Talents and Companies.
