For this, we organised the Global Housing Technology Challenge and invited the best companies in the world. I am happy that 50 and more innovative technology companies from across the world participated in this programme. From this Global Challenge, we have got the scope to innovate and incubate new technologies. In the next stage of this process, from today, in different sites, 6 Light House projects are starting. These Light House Projects will be made from modern technology and innovative processes. In this, the time needed for construction will be reduced, and the poor will get more resilient, affordable and comfortable homes,” he mentioned.
