Big news! FCI is honoured to be among the inaugural recipients of the University of Waterloo’s Global Futures Fund. This support will help power our role in BUILD NOW: Waterloo Region, a bold initiative and living lab embedded in North America’s largest affordable homeownership development. With this funding, we’ll help advance research, education, and services to scale sustainable housing solutions, engage students through capstones and co-ops, and connect Canada’s housing innovation ecosystem to the ENoLL (European Network of Living Labs).
For us at FCI, this is recognition of the impact that interdisciplinary, cross-sector partnerships can have in tackling urgent challenges like housing affordability. It’s also a celebration of what’s possible when universities, communities, governments, and industry work together to test and scale solutions in real time.
