From transport to mixed-used development and leisure, from energy to critical power and water assets, national-level investment priorities such as UAE’s Vision 2021, Qatar World Cup 2022 and Saudi Arabia’s National Transformation Program 2020 are driving an unprecedented level of infrastructure investment.
In a region noted for embracing the latest technologies for innovative infrastructure, there is currently a major opportunity to improve the lives of citizens by providing better connected assets for transport, utilities and other key services.
The “Smart Infrastructure Summit” will discuss and debate the various technologies and systems that bridge the gap between ‘Now’ and the ‘Future’.
Bringing together more than 200 delegates comprising of government officials, key decision makers, influencers and solution providers, the Smart Infrastructure Summit 2017 aims to connect minds and bring new ideas and possibilities to a rapidly growing industry.
Be more productive and efficient by reflecting on your learning and highlighting gaps in your knowledge and experience. Attend the CPD workshop case study to further enhance your knowledge about the technologies and techniques being employed in the development of Smart Infrastructure.
