Who We Are
Shaping the future of construction
Founded in 2021 in the heart of Helsinki, Finland, Ekotekt was born from the vision of architect Abhishek Kumar Devjibhai, whose global experience spans India, Sweden, London, Denmark, and Estonia. Abhishek saw a major gap in the construction industry: the untapped potential of digital fabrication and its experts, whose transformative capabilities have yet to be fully embraced.
Reimagining construction
The construction industry still relies on outdated methods that are inefficient, environmentally damaging, and unsustainable. But change is on the horizon. With increasing pressure from government regulations to cut CO2 emissions, the time for innovation is now. While digital fabrication has flourished in niche areas like art and pavilion design, its power to revolutionize mainstream construction remains largely overlooked. Digital fabrication offers precision, efficiency, and sustainability—key elements to driving a new era of building practices.
