Leko Labs is a Luxembourg-based construction technology company founded in 2017 that develops sustainable wood-based building materials and carbon-negative construction solutions. The company's core technology enables construction methods that reduce wood usage by up to 50% compared to traditional approaches, combined with an integrated software and robotics platform that supports the manufacturing and deployment of these materials. The company positions itself as carbon-negative, actively removing carbon from the atmosphere through its material choices and methods, and targets an ambition to transform 75% of the construction industry.

The company serves B2B customers including construction companies and property developers across the Benelux region, with plans to expand into the UK and Germany. It employs 11-50 people and is led by founder and CEO Francois Cordier. The revenue model centers on the sale of sustainable wood-based building materials under a one-time license approach, delivered through an enterprise field sales motion targeting large-scale construction projects.
