In this episode of the AEC Business Podcast, Aarni Heiskanen sits down with Aino Hukkanen, co-founder and CPO of Complink, a Finnish startup that aims to bring intelligence back into construction workflows. Aino shares her journey from architecture to product design and co-founding Complink, and explains how their platform helps construction companies automate procurement and tendering processes using AI and smart data architecture.



The conversation explores:




* Why procurement is a bottleneck and how automation can reduce manual work



* How AI and deterministic algorithms can complement each other in construction tech



* The importance of data architecture in capturing real value from AI



* Complink’s vision of creating a holistic, real-time data model that connects design, procurement, and construction




Whether you’re an architect, contractor, or innovator in the built environment, this episode gives you insights into how procurement could become the missing link in digitizing the construction value chain.
