Transforming Sites into Scenarios – Kickstarting 2025 with Smarter Workflows

2024 has been an incredible year for us at Hektar , and we’re immensely grateful to everyone who has been part of our journey. As we look ahead to 2025, we’re excited to share a sneak peek of what’s on the horizon – a year brimming with innovation and development, driven by AI and generative design to transform urban planning.

?? From Blank Sites to Precision Scenarios – Explore Our Upcoming Features

More Building Types and Faster Generations

We’ve enhanced our algorithms and are expanding with new typologies for volumes and core designs in 2025. Additionally, faster generation speeds will allow you to effortlessly explore multiple urban planning options, saving time and boosting efficiency.

Subarea Control

One of our most anticipated features is soon here! With Subarea Controls, you can lock specific parts of the site and let Hektar AI generate the rest – perfect for precision design and flexible projects. Sign up today to stay updated on this upcoming functionality!

Improved Export Function

Simplify your workflow with our new export function for CAD and BIM. We are working on improved interoperability so that you can optimize your specific workflows.

Simulations

Explore light simulations, shadows, and site-specific solutions directly in Hektar. We’re dedicated to making your design decisions even more intuitive.

???? AI Development and Research Partnerships

In 2025, we continue the participation in the Acceleration of deeptech program via Vinnova . We’re accelerating our AI development for generative design. We are working on an advanced AI solution that sets a new standard for project creation and optimization. Stay tuned for an in-depth look at this exciting work!

We’re collaborating with leading architecture and engineering firms, as well as top AI researchers, to take generative design to the next level. These partnerships aim to enhance and fast-track innovation, transforming how architects shape the cities of tomorrow.

Our goal? To revolutionize the industry with cutting-edge deep tech solutions that empower architects to create smarter, more sustainable designs. Stay tuned for more updates!

?? Events and Collaborations

Beyond development and innovation, we’re eager to connect with you to discuss industry trends, share ideas, and explore the future of innovation together. We therefore hope to see you at one of our three upcoming events in January ?

World of Volvo – January 23

Meet us and experience our latest innovations live! We’ll demonstrate how advanced digitalization can shape the future of design. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet our team and to see Hektar in action. Sign up now to join us at M?tesplats Avancerad Digitalisering 2025.

Smart Built Environment workshop: Generative AI – Threat or Opportunity?

We are proud to be part of the focus group for Smart Built Environment ’s strategic program, where we explore value chains and business models shaping the future of architecture. Together with industry leaders, we’re discussing role of generative AI: is it a threat or a transformative opportunity for design?
