Saudi Arabia’s leadership has a clear vision of the Kingdom’s future, and in mid-2017 under the banner of Saudi Vison 2030 unveiled giga-projects the likes of which the world has never seen. The ambition and grand scale of the Kingdom’s world-scale projects created significant opportunities for companies and individuals to showcase their prowess in terms of design, engineering & delivery. However, given the complexities of these transformational projects, as well as strict timelines and tight budgets amongst other issues, challenges have arisen in their delivery, exacerbated by dynamic local and global trends and influences.

This event will reveal the engineering that’s going into some of the world’s largest and most prestigious projects, with a focus on: construction build quality; climate resilience and environmental engineering; optioneering and value engineering; talent development to boost local engineering content in KSA projects, in addition to sustainable engineering and waste management.

The summit will also highlight crucial learnings from project handovers that have been completed in the last couple of years, so that time consuming and costly mistakes can be avoided in the race to build these world-class projects.

Through focused panel discussions and presentations headlined by prominent speakers from government entities, local and international developers, consultants, contractors, engineering firms and specialists, the event aims to challenge, stimulate and provoke change.

The Future of Engineering Summit will present content in a variety of different formats, including high-level panel discussions, keynote speeches, fireside discussions, and expert presentations. The event’s content will explore a variety of engineering themes:

• Delivering project quality through authentic value engineering and optioneering in a world governed by stringent client demands and compressed budgets
• Ensuring projects and infrastructure in the Kingdom remain resilient to the increasing occurrence of adverse weather conditions driven by climate change
• Leveraging environmental engineering and waste management to protect people and ecosystems from adverse environmental effects
• Talent development and the importance of programmes such as GES+ in nurturing local content and engineering activities in the Kingdom’s giga-projects
