United Village Global (UVG) is proud to announce that we have been selected to participate in the upcoming ChangeNOW Summit in Paris in partnership with Produktif, one of the world’s leading gatherings dedicated to accelerating solutions for the planet.

As global conversations increasingly focus on the future of cities, infrastructure, and climate resilience, this moment could not be more important. Today, over 55% of the world’s population lives in urban areas, and that number is expected to rise to 68% by 2050. At the same time, cities already account for nearly 70% of global greenhouse gas emissions, making the way we design and build our urban environments a defining challenge of our time.

At ChangeNOW, these challenges will be explored through “Cities for Change”, a dedicated program that brings together city leaders, innovators, policymakers, and solution providers to rethink how urban spaces can become more sustainable, resilient, and inclusive. From mobility and housing to energy systems and circular economies, the summit creates space for collaboration and practical action toward the cities of the future.
Together with Produktif, United Village Global will be showcasing construction technology designed to make a meaningful difference for our planet.

We invite all attendees to visit our booth, engage with our team, and experience how innovative building solutions can contribute to more sustainable communities and smarter urban development.
This is more than a summit. It is a global meeting point for those committed to building solutions that matter.

📆 March 30–31 & April 1, 2026
📍 Grand Palais, Paris

MEET UVG & PRODUKTIF | GBCSA Green Building Convention, Cape Town • 11–13 Nov 2025

The future of building is here — 5× faster, 100% reusable, infinitely adaptable.

At the 18th Green Building Convention 2025, Produktif introduces the MODULATOR™ with Click C-Joint 3.0, a precision modular system reshaping how buildings are designed, assembled, and reused. Engineered for rapid assembly, full disassembly, and total material reuse, the Modulator enables flexible structures from single homes to entire villages a new era where digital systems and biological wisdom work together to build circular, resilient communities.

Developed through major European and African collaborations including the EU-Horizon Drastic Project with partners such as VITO, SINTEF Catapult, Vaager Innovasjon, NCE Manufacturing, and teams across South Africa, Kenya, and Norway — the Modulator proves its impact with 5× faster assembly, 100% component reuse, and drastically reduced waste, transport, and embodied carbon. It is construction reimagined as an adaptive, regenerative ecosystem.

Rolled out through the United Village Global (UVG) ecosystem, this innovation pairs high-performance modular technology with indigenous knowledge, local manufacturing, and youth-driven Works Units. Here, makers and communities build more with less, turning infrastructure into engines for employment, resilience, and circular value. The future becomes a place where young people find opportunity in the village not away from it.

As Produktif, a proud UVG member, steps into GBCSA 2025, we invite manufacturers, architects, innovators, policymakers, and indigenous leaders to help shape regenerative, self-sufficient communities. UVG welcomes new members seeking first-mover advantage in supplying future demonstration projects across Europe and Africa and even representing the movement at global forums like COP. Explore the Icebox Challenge on our website to see how nature-aligned design first sparked this journey.

Meet Rune Kongshaug, CEO of Produktif & Chair of UVG, for demos and discussions on the next frontier of sustainable construction. Book your private 15-minute Modulator session and witness the future of building firsthand.

How do you empower youth to build their world? You give them a space, the tools, and the skills to build it.
Powered by United Global Village Member Empower & Engage, youth are co-building TukaPOD™️, a modular, mobile makerspace designed to meet community needs from classrooms and clinics to the very space that will house their future inventions.

The TukaPOD™️ Maker Space is more than a project, it’s a movement. Involving young, ambitious graduates of the Engage & Empower program, it represents a new model for township innovation: sustainable, scalable, and entirely youth-built.

Inside these walls,printed, and assembled, young innovators are developing technologies that solve everyday challenges: water filters from recycled plastics, solar light fixtures from e-waste, and shelter modules for disaster-prone areas.

Their work is the blueprint for Africa’s sustainable creation future.

28/10/2025

In the heart of Gauteng, South Africa, a story of transformation began with Engage & Empower’s “Pathways to Possibility” initiative, bringing hands-on STEM and industry exposure to youth once limited by rote learning. From that spark, four learners formed Tuka’s Curious Minds STEM Club, proving that when exposure meets ambition, potential turns into opportunity.

These students started small, learning coding through old laptops, designing with recycled materials, and printing their first prototypes on a borrowed 3D printer. Today, they’re crafting sustainable, transportable structures designed to serve real community needs, from classrooms and clinics to the very makerspace that will power their future inventions.

This is more than engineering. Its purpose in motion, a new ecosystem of mentorship, skills, and access to knowledge where creativity doesn’t depend on privilege. Every joint they print and every model they develop brings them one step closer to proving what youth-led innovation can achieve when opportunity meets belief.

United Village Global, a community empowerment organization, will host an event at the upcoming Net-Zero Future 2025 Conference in Cape Town, showing how local solutions can shape a sustainable future.
