The Saudi Vision 2030 strategic framework set in motion a bold and ambitious plan to transform the Kingdom’s economy and several of its sectors including education, health, infrastructure, recreation and tourism. The ongoing delivery of this vision has seen the development of several giga-projects that defy belief. In Q4 2022, industry analysts said that the total value of contracts awarded in the quarter alone amounted to US $51.3 billion, a significant 35% surge year-on-year. Prior to this, it was estimated that the Kingdom’s project pipeline had already crossed $1.1 trillion, securing the country’s construction sector as the Middle East’s most vibrant opportunity for local and international companies.
While construction – which includes the conceptualisation, design, engineering, delivery and operation of multiple projects across the country – is a key part of the Kingdom’s ambition for the future, Vision 2030 also outlines the development of human capital, working in-conjunction with the Kingdom’s various Saudisation programmes. The identification and development of local talent is crucial to the Kingdom’s future and brings with it several opportunities and challenges for international firms operating in the country.
The Construction Intel Summit KSA will combine high-level panel discussions, keynote speeches and expert presentations to communicate the views of industry experts and change-leaders.
The event will focus on four key themes:
We want to connect young and experienced minds creating a synergy to empower them with knowledge and insights around the services, digital tools and technologies available to help transform the built environment.
The one-day event is not only a fully up-to-date snapshot of the realities of Saudi Arabia’s economic and cultural diversification but also aims to leverage further progress and lobby for systemic change in order to expedite the cultural and commercial shifts necessary for the Kingdom to thrive.
The second live edition of the Construction Intel Summit KSA returns to Riyadh in 2023 and will convene experts from across the built environment, academia, and technology sectors to ignite discussions around Saudisation and knowledge sharing, the cutting-edge engineering going into the Kingdom’s giga-projects, the disruptive but potentially enabling role of technology such as AI, and the nuances of delivering and operating projects of incredible scale and diversity.
Our speakers are critical in underpinning the quality and credibility of the event and its role as a benchmark event for the regional market.
