Technological solutions will be presented by leading clients, engineers and top-tier vendors involved in the region’s major projects, including adoption of machine learning in construction and energy efficiency management.
Commenting Mibu John, Partner & Director Ventures Middle East, said: “Though the importance of new technology is being discussed in the construction industry for quite some time now, it’s adoption is limited to the use of software tools for digital collaboration in most organizations and projects. Companies are either unfamiliar with other tools and solutions beyond digital collaboration or unwilling to make an initial investment, or they simply do not want to change. The Forum will bring together experts to offer new technological solutions to the industry, share their experiences and plans on how these new solutions shape their future projects.”
Khaled Bou Antoun, General Manager, Canon Emirates said: “Traditional building, infrastructure design and construction offers a process which does not necessarily deliver the agility and efficiency required. And so, the way buildings are designed and constructed is changing radically in the region. With over 80 years heritage in the industry developing innovative business imaging solutions, that help our customers boost capacity and speed in a high-volume market we look forward to presenting the industry with cutting-edge workflows and innovative technology to propel businesses to the next level at the Forum.”
