IHMEC – Indoor Hygiene Middle East Construction Markets

The IHMEC project answers to the threat of antibiotic resistant microbes. The spreading of global infections can be prevented by new and innovative indoor hygiene (IH) solutions. The project creates and exports joint indoor hygiene solution of Central Baltic area SME’s into Saudi Arabian construction market using indoor hygiene as a competitive edge.

The IHMEC project will connect professionals in planning, designing, building, and furnishing IH spaces to form IH solutions. The project brings together relevant clusters from Finland, Sweden and Estonia into a meta-cluster which aims to enter into the Saudi Arabian construction market with new and tailor-made IH solutions. All actors involved in planning, designing, building and furnishing indoor spaces are needed to reach effective IH results.
