It is a growing community of AEC startups, as well as AEC companies and professionals who sign up, create profiles, and feature their exciting products and case studies.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Niknaz Aftahi<\/strong>, the founder of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aecplustech.com?utm_source=aec-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">aec+tech<\/a>, received her bachelor of architecture in Iran and studied master of architecture at UC Berkeley. Her work history includes five years at ELS Architecture and Urban Design in Berkley. There she started a Design technology committee, searching for new tools and software for computational design, sustainability, and visualization.<\/p>\n<p>Niknaz soon realized that built world tech is evolving fast but the industry is not enough aware of the progress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe way the building industry is keeping up with new technologies is outdated, disconnected and decentralized. There is no easy way for design and construction firms to find and compare new software and technologies,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>She reminds us that almost all SMEs don\u2019t have the time and money to test new products. There is a growing number of conferences and webinars focused on AEC tech. However, they are often expensive and lengthy, and many companies don\u2019t have the budget to send employees to participate in them.<\/p>\n<p>AEC+tech wants to change the way companies discover new techologies and products.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe goal is becoming a one-stop shop for finding the best AEC products, and being a thought leader, rather than advertising particular tools. We will remain unbiased, and the mission is connecting groundbreaking AEC startups with customers, partners and capital,\u201d Niknaz concludes.<\/p>\n<p>Go to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aecplustech.com?utm_source=aec-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">aecplustech.com<\/a> to learn more.<\/p>\n<p class=\"itemsource\">This item was originally posted here: <a href=\"https:\/\/aec-business.com\/aectech-helps-discover-new-technologies-and-products\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"feedzy-rss-link-icon\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Read More<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>AEC+tech is a newly launched website and online platform that keeps track of the latest architecture, engineering &amp; construction (AEC) &#8230; <a title=\"AEC+tech Helps Discover New Technologies and Products\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/aectech-helps-discover-new-technologies-and-products\/\" aria-label=\"Read more about AEC+tech Helps Discover New Technologies and Products\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8061,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1062,1066],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8060","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-aec-business","category-all-posts","generate-columns","tablet-grid-50","mobile-grid-100","grid-parent","grid-33"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8060","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8060"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8060\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8060"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8060"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/essential.construction\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8060"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
