Salla Eckhardt of Microsoft becomes Co-Chair for our AEC Industry Committee

We are thrilled to announce Salla Eckhardt as co-chair for our AEC Industry Committee

Salla has built her career to establish herself as an industry pioneer, and an innovation leader focusing on emerging technology and digital transformation. With the digital building lifecycle framework, she is continuing to support building up people's skills and organizational wisdom to respond to the requirements of the next generation built environment industry.

It is an honor for me to be invited to become a co-chair of the VRARA Architecture/Construction committee, because extended reality is such a powerful platform for communication, learning, and educated decision making. The built environment industry is going thru a massive physical, digital, and social transformation – the boomer generation is retiring and the Gen Z is entering the job market as the built environment industry is expected to find better solutions for more sustainable future. Empowering the end-users digitally will foster a completely new type of collaboration, and XR is one of the cornerstones.
