VASO Global Has Raised Over £5 Million in Funding to Help Address the Housing Crisis

VASO By Eco has raised over £5 million in funding from PXN Ventures Scotland, Scottish Enterprise, UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) and Eco Group to help it address the housing crisis.

VASO Global is a housebuilding company which takes waste glass and transforms it into panels which can deliver low‑carbon, modular homes and buildings. The company merges digital design, integrated manufacture and semi-autonomous construction, to provide low-carbon homes, enabling it to respond to the UK’s need to construct more homes at a faster pace.

The recent funding will enable VASO Global to develop manufacturing processes at its new 60,000 square feet manufacturing site, located in Dumfries.

Eddie Black, VASO global co-founder and managing director, said, “The latest investment from PXN Ventures and Scottish Enterprise, along with all our other funders, accelerates our journey to deliver a product which can genuinely reshape how homes are delivered. We would like to also thank Professor Sean Smith at the The University of Edinburgh for his reports and expert support, funded by the UKRI Centre for Net Zero High Density Buildings, which has helped underpin VASO’s plans and products to reach this stage of our development.”
