ConstruLab360 es el clúster de la innovación en la construcción en Baleares y cuenta ya con representantes de empresas de peso en prácticamente todos los eslabones de la cadena de valor considerada, además de socios representantes de la generación y transferencia de conocimiento.
El clúster se configura como una agrupación de empresas de la industria de la construcción y, en menor número, centros de conocimiento y desarrollo tecnológico e instituciones que quieren trabajar en cooperación en aras a impulsar un desarrollo de la construcción balear más innovador, tecnologizado y sostenible.
As such, the following founding objectives have been established from the outset.
Facilitar la colaboración entre los diferentes actores implicados en la cadena de valor de la construcción en las Islas Baleares. ConstruLab360 es un foro de encuentro para que las empresas, las instituciones y las personas de la industria de la construcción se reúnan, compartan información y trabajen juntas en proyectos comunes.
Fomentar la competitividad del sector de la construcción facilitando la explotación de sinergias entre actores de la cadena de valor, nuevas posibilidades de negocio y el intercambio de conocimiento.
To promote knowledge transfer, innovation and technological development. ConstruLab360 will help encourage innovation in the field of construction by sharing expertise, experience and resources from knowledge-generating entities to companies, particularly SMEs.
To collaborate in introducing innovative technologies and production models into the Balearic construction industry, linked to productivity and the circular economy, such as industrialised construction or robotics.
To act as a leading expert technical forum in the definition and deployment of regional strategies relating to construction and its supporting industry. In this context, ConstruLab360 aims to contribute its expertise and participate technically in the definition of policies and strategies at regional and island level.
Facilitar el acceso a la financiación de proyectos innovadores en el ámbito de la construcción en colaboración mediante tareas de oficina técnica y de divulgación de convocatorias y foros de inversión públicos y privados.
To provide visibility to successful stories related to construction that position companies from the Balearic Islands both within and beyond our autonomous community.
To collaborate with other clusters and relevant stakeholders from innovation ecosystems in other territories whose challenges and objectives are aligned with those of ConstruLab360.
In the founders’ view, the best way to structure an association pursuing these aims is through the Innovative Business Grouping model (hereinafter, IGB).
ConstruLab360 was therefore created with the intention of becoming such an entity and, within a reasonably short timeframe, securing its registration in the Register of Innovative Business Groupings of the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands (AEIB).
ConstruLab360 is created to cover the construction value chain in an extended sense, in a similar way to other clusters of a comparable nature and with similar objectives, incorporating the following stakeholders.
(universities, research groups and centres, and technology centres).
(professional associations, other associations and clusters).
Despite its still limited track record, ConstruLab360 has already succeeded in offering a broad portfolio of services.
The main services that ConstruLab360 will provide to its members are:
These services are included in the membership fee for ConstruLab360 members. For non-member companies, these services are offered in exchange for financial compensation, which will become an increasingly relevant source of income for the operation of ConstruLab360.
At operational level, the Cluster Manager is a key element in the consolidation and development of ConstruLab360.
Among other responsibilities, this role is accountable for:
ConstruLab360 has a full-time Cluster Manager. Their professional profile is as follows:
The cluster will also be organised into Committees around topics of interest aligned with the pillars of this Strategic Plan.
These Committees will be the ideal forum for cluster members interested in each thematic area to meet as often as necessary in order to make progress on specific issues, in principle at least once every fortnight.
The planning, convening, facilitation and monitoring of each Committee’s performance will be the responsibility of the Cluster Manager, who will play a fundamental role in attracting members to the Committees and identifying topics that generate sustained interest among participants.
The number and composition of these Committees will vary as the cluster evolves and will depend, among other factors, on the membership base at any given time, the degree of progress in the implementation of the Strategic Plan, and the level of interest generated by the different topics.
A critical success factor in the consolidation of the cluster will be the active involvement of members in these Committees.
The first working Committees to be launched are:
In addition to the structures described above, the cluster may also consider establishing others that contribute to improved governance of the IGB, such as, an Advisory Board, Scientific Board or Steering Committee for certain projects.
ConstruLab360 already has representatives from major companies at virtually every stage of the value chain considered, as well as partner organisations involved in knowledge generation and transfer. These are:

At the time of drafting this document, the following ConstruLab360 member companies are registered in the Ministry’s register of innovative SMEs and/or hold the Innobal seal:
| Tax ID | Company name | Type of seal | Seal validity date |
|---|---|---|---|
| B57316242 | GRDAR Soluciones Digitales | INNOBAL | 15/10/2027 |
| B578690667 | TAKTICS INGENIERIA DE NEGOCIO SL | MINISTERIO | 13/11/2026 |
Cluster member companies registered in the Ministry’s register of innovative SMEs and/or holding the Innobal seal.
Regardless of the seal and its validity, ConstruLab360 also has a significant number of SMEs with capacity for innovation and/or R&D according to their positioning across various parameters such as absorptive capacity or historical participation in public innovation support programmes. A non-exhaustive list is included below:
| Tax ID | Company name |
|---|---|
| B57208878 | MAC INSULAR S.L. |
| B07175615 | PORAXA MALLORCA S.L. |
| A07045248 | MELCHOR MASCARÓ SAU |
| B01656867 | MINIMAL STUDIO PROJECTS |
| A07053374 | VIAS Y OBRAS PÚBLICAS, S.A. |
Cluster member companies with proven capacity for innovation and/or R&D.
In addition to the innovation capacity among its membership base, ConstruLab360 has, as a differentiating factor compared to other IGBs, the advantage of including companies capable of driving smaller companies forward due to their scale and solvency.
In objective terms, selecting companies with a turnover of over €10 million as the differentiating criterion, ConstruLab360 includes:
| Tax ID | Company name |
|---|---|
| B57208878 | MAC INSULAR, S.L. |
| A07053374 | VIAS Y OBRAS PÚBLICAS, S.A. |
| B07852718 | ALIBAZ INVERSIONES, S.L. |
| A07045248 | MELCHOR MASCARÓ |
| B57545113 | ENGEL MALLORCA INVEST |
| A07018948 | VIBRADOS Y PRESENTADOS MANACOR, S.A. (VIPSA) |
| A07701469 | HORMORT BALEARES |
Although ConstruLab360 is still in its early stages, a significant number of R&D&I projects are already under way, both by individual companies and through collaboration between companies from the founding core of the IGB and, in some cases, also involving knowledge-generating organisations such as the UIB, technology centres and even other clusters within the Balearic innovation ecosystem.
This demonstrates the existing capacity within ConstruLab360 to launch innovative projects, which will undoubtedly be extraordinarily strengthened by the cluster dynamic in line with the creation and consolidation of the IGB.
Some relevant examples are:
Development of modular LEGO-type blocks from mass concrete manufactured with recycled aggregates of 0–8 mm and 8–40 mm. These blocks have been used to build a silo for the separation and storage of aggregates at the Inca plant. This project promotes the use of recycled aggregates obtained from construction and demolition waste recycling in the prefabrication sector, fostering the circular economy.
Research and development of mortars formulated with recycled aggregates, applied to the covering and protection of pipelines. This solution reduces demand for natural aggregate, lowers the carbon footprint of the final product and contributes to closing the life cycle of construction materials.
Application of 8/40 mm recycled aggregate in drainage works and roadside ditch levelling, intended for the filling and protection of pipelines. This alternative use of waste promotes more sustainable road infrastructure, reducing the use of raw materials.
Use of timber from construction waste and pallets for furniture manufacturing through social workshops. This initiative not only strengthens the circular economy, but also promotes social inclusion through collaboration with third-sector organisations.
Construction of sports and sustainable mobility infrastructure, such as cycle lanes and running routes, using recycled aggregates in their base and surface. This initiative promotes clean transport and outdoor sport, while giving construction materials a second life once recycled.
Implementation of a separation and sorting system for expanded polystyrene at MAC Insular’s facilities for its use as a raw material in the manufacture of new expanded polystyrene at the PORAXA plant in Porreres. This process makes it possible to close the material’s life cycle on the island of Mallorca itself, constituting an exemplary model of local circular economy applied to plastic materials.
