The Event

Agenda + Schedule


Regenerative

Development

Major markets in the Middle East are seeing active on-going development in support of economic diversification goals, with sustainability being prioritised. Despite this, regenerative construction/development, which aims to actively heal and improve surrounding ecosystems, has yet to be broadly embraced by stakeholders – an omission that should be corrected.

+

The Environmental

Cost of Tech

Today’s professionals can leverage an array of technology to enhance the efficiency of construction but some of these tools, such as generative AI models, come with significant environmental consequences, including major energy and water demands. It’s therefore vital to ensure the benefits actually outweigh the downsides.

+

Decommissioning

Assets

When an asset is at the end of its useful life and must be decommissioned, it’s vital that a comprehensive approach be taken that prioritises: restoring the asset’s site, the reuse and recycling of components and materials, and complying with local and international regulatory requirements through the decommissioning process.

+

Green

Finance

There’s an immense opportunity to accelerate sustainable development and construction activities through green financing schemes and initiatives. While green finance is rapidly growing in several Middle East markets, there are challenges including regulatory hurdles, ROI concerns, a misalignment between investor and project timelines, and gaps in definitions and guiding principles.
