Peikko brings industry leaders together in Singapore to connect sustainability with productivity

SINGAPORE, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Peikko, together with the Embassy of Finland in Singapore, brought together leaders from Singapore’s built environment sector, government, engineering and development communities for "2030: Doing More with Less – Connecting Sustainability with Productivity," exploring how construction can increase productivity while reducing the use of materials, labour and other resources.

Held on 21 October at the residence of H.E. Juha Markkanen, Ambassador of Finland to Singapore, the event brought together representatives from Peikko, the Embassy of Finland, Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA), Ramboll and leading organisations across the construction and property sector.

The programme opened with an address on Finland–Singapore collaboration by H.E. Juha Markkanen. Justin Lim, Deputy Director of the Built Environment Tech Alliance (BETA), addressed Singapore’s path to building smarter and greener.

Speakers also included Ted Howland, Senior Director, Group Sustainability at CapitaLand Investment; Ar. Razvan I. Ghilic-Micu, Director at DP Architects; and Alessandro Marzucchini, Technical Director and MMC Director at Ramboll, bringing together perspectives from across the built environment.

A panel discussion moderated by Joona Selin, Trade & Innovation Counsellor at the Embassy of Finland, explored how sustainability ambitions can translate into greater construction productivity.

"The construction industry needs to deliver more while consuming fewer resources. Achieving this requires us to rethink not only what we build, but how we design, manufacture and assemble structures. By combining efficient structural solutions with industrialised construction, we can improve productivity while supporting the transition towards a lower-carbon built environment," said Topi Paananen, CEO of Peikko Group.

The programme also explored Modern Methods of Construction and Peikko’s solutions for efficient, prefabricated structures.

The event concluded with industry networking at CapitaSpring, continuing the exchange between Peikko’s international leadership and Singapore’s construction, engineering, development and design communities.
