More than 50% of the worlds population resides

in urban habitats, with 30% in cities of more than
one million inhabitants. The UN estimates that 70%
of the world will live in cities in 2050. Imagining
the infrastructure, buildings and environment of
tomorrow to respond to the needs of an increasingly
mobile and connected world, at a time of diminishing
raw materials, thats the role of setec. With its experience,
the constructive talent of its teams and its system
of visualization, setec is able to add value at each stage
of a project.
An independent and
multidisciplinary team,
relying on the strong
technical expertise
of its engineers.
