Fugro, the world’s leading Geo-data specialist, is proud to announce its participation as a main geotechnical sponsor at the second edition of the International Geotechnical Innovation Conference (IGIC) 2025, taking place on May 5 and 6, 2025, in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Organised under the theme ‘Shaping the World Beneath: Fostering Sustainability, Innovation and Resilience in Geotechnics,’ the event will convene global experts to explore new avenues in geotechnical engineering and infrastructure development. 

At IGIC 2025, Fugro will introduce its GroundIQ™ approach, a revolutionary solution that provides comprehensive ground investigation and monitoring capabilities. GroundIQ™ leverages advanced geotechnical expertise and cutting-edge technologies to reduce uncertainties related to subsurface conditions, enabling clients to make well-informed decisions, mitigate project risks and prevents costly overruns from the early planning stages. 

As Saudi Arabia accelerates its ambitious Vision 2030 agenda, sustainable and resilient infrastructure plays a crucial role in shaping the Kingdom’s future. Fugro’s solutions support the development of essential infrastructure, such as bridges, buildings, stadiums, roads, tunnels, and coastal developments, throughout their entire lifecycle.

Jürgen Fitschen, Country Manager for Land in Saudi Arabia, Fugro, said: “We are excited to join the second IGIC event as Saudi Arabia embarks on a transformative journey, blending tradition with innovation and sustainability. This vision presents significant opportunities for advancing infrastructure that is both resilient and forward-thinking.”
