BIM for any building, by anyone.

Transform sales: Gamify building 3D modeling and exporting with just a few click.

Our industry is moving towards smarter maintenance with IoT and digital twins, allowing remote operations and real-time 3D visualizations of buildings, equipment, and people. But there’s a big challenge: many older buildings don’t have 3D models or BIMs, which limits the ability to improve maintenance and modernization. This gap slows us down and prevents us from making operations as efficient as they could be. Help us create a 3D BIM and digital twin of any building and its equipment to solve a massive industry-wide problem, drive smarter, faster maintenance and modernization, and open the door to fully connected, future-ready operations.

Sustainable Space Data

Leverage open space data to create sustainable solutions for Earth's challenges.

Space agencies and organizations collect vast amounts of data from satellites, telescopes, and space missions, offering invaluable insights into Earth's climate, ecosystems, and even the broader solar system. However, much of this data remains untapped. By harnessing space data, we can discover innovative ways to solve global sustainability issues, from climate change to resource management. At Junction, we invite you to explore this wealth of information and create impactful solutions that benefit both Earth and space.

Modernizing a trillion-euro inventory

Empower the Built World with AI and Create the Ultimate Digital Twin

Buildings are the world’s largest asset class with a total value of about 350 trillion euros. Despite the great value, the number, condition and location of all the equipment in the buildings are not always known. However, up-to-date equipment information is an important starting point for maintenance services and planning of repairs. Collecting this information is currently laborious and requires an equipment inventory survey, where an expert manually collects device data on site. With this challenge, we are looking for solutions that can automate equipment inventory surveys. Can you develop a solution for gathering data from mechanical, electrical and plumbing equipment in buildings that is user-friendly for non-experts and doesn’t rely on specialized hardware?

Creative 3D UI Apps

Create 3D UI App with Huawei's Ark Graphics Design Studio

In Huawei Finland Graphics R&D Team we are constantly looking for ways to improve user experience in our products and applications. We have recently discovered that the combination of 2D & 3D UI with rich visual effects is a good way to increase the appeal and UX of the applications used by consumers. We are here at Junction to seek your help to use our 3D UI Application Development Framework and 3D Editor to design & develop cool applications with 2D & 3D UI effects.

ThriveConnect: Redefine Work Well-being

Build the platform that matches talent with a workplace where they don’t just work—they thrive.

The mind breaks under the weight of work when it becomes too much. Yet, companies still don't pay enough attention to this. Now imagine a workplace where employee well-being is at the heart of everything. What would it look like? How would it work? What if we could see the truth behind the culture—the real investment in well-being—and instead of needing to recover from work, your work helped you recharge? We believe growth starts with healthy people. We’re inviting you to develop a platform that not only matches employees with companies based on skills but also prioritizes shared values and mental health practices.

Empowering Development Transparency

Making system development clearer, smarter and more interactive for clients.

Fingrid Datahub’s system is used by every Finnish electricity supplier and network company, plus by an increasing number of energy service providers. How can we keep our clients and their developers well-informed of upcoming system versions and updated business requirements, catering to different needs and wishes? How can we create a customisable frontend experience that makes our development more transparent and our documentation more user-friendly?

IFC Innovate: Enhancing Construction Experience

Revolutionize Building Design with IFC

Welcome to the Peikko challenge! Peikko, a global leader in concrete connections and composite structures, invites you to push the boundaries of innovation in the construction industry. We challenge you to harness the rich metadata of IFC files to transform how customers interact with building design and construction processes.

ZeroWaste Factory: A Greener Path Forward

Create a next-gen tool that integrates smart communication and real-time insights to drive sustainability and precision in HKFoods' production processes.

In the EU, over 59 million tonnes of food waste (132 kg/inhabitant) is generated annually (Eurostat, 2024), with an associated market value estimated at 132 billion euros (SWD (2023)421) [1]. Food waste throughout the value chain, from field to fork, needs to stop and HKFoods is trying to contribute to the solution by finding modern tools to support sustainable production.
To further improve our performance as a responsible food producer we need to replace inefficient practices with work methods that promote sustainability, inclusivity and proactivity in all our factories.

Let’s make Finland the world leader of digital democracy


A thriving digital democracy requires smart digital tools for A: enabling citizen initiative, B: facilitating in depth automatically facilitated online discussions and C: other creative solutions for enhancing digital democracy. Your solution can combine all three of these faces or just master one of them — however you see fit the best.
