Driving open innovation to transform the industry 2026

Challenge 1: Water Management

Over the years, the company has implemented initiatives focused on improving water efficiency, increasing the use of alternative water sources, and expanding water reuse practices. As climate variability and growing resource constraints continue to challenge the industry, Progreso seeks innovative technologies that enable smarter water management, strengthen operational resilience, and support more sustainable industrial processes.

Challenge 2: Construction Planning & Execution

Efficient project execution depends on accurate planning, reliable coordination, and timely access to materials. However, construction projects—particularly in self-construction and small-scale developments—often experience significant schedule changes, resource constraints, and logistical uncertainty that affect productivity and customer experience. Building on operational learnings from Mixto Listo and digital initiatives such as Condata, Progreso is looking for accessible technologies that improve planning, visibility, and decision-making across construction projects of all sizes.

Challenge 3: Industrial Energy

Energy is one of the most critical resources in cement manufacturing, directly influencing operational efficiency, production costs, and business continuity. As the industry faces increasing energy price volatility and the need to transition toward more sustainable energy systems, Progreso continues to explore innovative solutions that strengthen energy resilience while maintaining operational reliability. The challenge focuses on technologies that optimize industrial energy management, enable alternative energy sources, and improve the efficiency and adaptability of energy-intensive operations.
