mindful MATERIALS Presents: Solidifying the Foundation: Nonprofits and Industry in Deep Collaboration

Transforming the materials market requires more than technical fixes — it demands deep collaboration across the entire ecosystem. Nonprofits like mindful MATERIALS, HPDC, Building Transparency, and ILFI play a unique role in convening stakeholders, aligning programs, and providing the trusted infrastructure our industry needs.

This session explores how nonprofits are working together to accelerate the data ecosystem, integrate initiatives like Declare, and create shared systems that reduce friction and speed adoption. Just as importantly, it looks ahead: what’s needed now to solidify these foundational systems, and how can industry partners actively engage to ensure this work scales and endures?
