What could the world of construction look like in 2030?
In the past few years the engineering and construction sector has faced COVID-19, supply chain disruption, material shortages, raging inflation, war in the Ukraine, and major talent gaps.
And these phenomena come on top of longstanding challenges of a variable performance record, poor productivity, inability to attract graduates, boom-and-bust economic cycles, low contractor margins, and continued lack of cost certainty for owners.
The sector is also under significant pressure to master data and analytics and deliver sustainable construction, buildings and infrastructure.
At this pivotal point in time, the October 2022 Engineering & Construction Risk Institute Risk Management Conference, in Athens, Greece, presented an ideal opportunity to discuss a way forward for the industry. In a special session, we were joined by some of the world’s leading engineering and construction minds to envisage a bright future.
