On March 18th, representatives from our partner Ragn-Sells — Niklas Arnby, Lars Nybom, and Camilla Sonnentheil – participated in this year’s Construction Summit 2025 in Stockholm, Sweden. The event brought together stakeholders from across the construction sector to discuss pressing issues such as electrification, circular material flows, and collaboration throughout the value chain.
The day began with an opening speech from Svante Axelsson, National Coordinator of Fossil Free Sweden, who emphasized the urgency of building strong networks and value chains to drive the green transition forward. Later, Magnus Persson, CEO of Skanska Sweden, echoed this message, underlining the need for systemic collaboration, stating that “we can’t do it as individual companies.”
Camilla took part in a recorded roundtable discussion with construction industry representatives and political stakeholders. The conversation focused on how different actors can contribute to a more circular construction sector.
She highlighted the importance of recognizing roles within the value chain, and how enabling proper recycling can help reduce CO₂ emissions by increasing access to circular raw materials. She also addressed the need for digital traceability throughout the entire value chain, which can support transparency and make it easier to reuse materials in new construction projects.
Connecting with Industry and Sharing the Reincarnate Vision
During the event, Niklas and Lars had the chance to speak with other participants about the work Ragn-Sells is carrying out as part of the Reincarnate project. In conversations with industry colleagues and stakeholders, they shared insights into how Reincarnate is developing digital tools and system-level strategies to support circular construction – with a focus on traceability, reuse, and material recycling.
These exchanges helped highlight the project’s goals and opened up discussions around shared challenges and potential collaboration opportunities. Strengthening such networks is a key part of Reincarnate’s approach to accelerating the circular transition in the built environment.
