Economic Outlook 

Innovation and sustainable technologies are crucial for a built environment that is fit for the future by enabling low-carbon construction, reducing resource consumption, optimising building performance, and improving resilience. Key advancements include sustainable materials, smart building technologies, digital tools like virtual reality or generative design, modern methods of construction such as modular building, and integrated renewable energy systems. These innovations can help the built environment to meet net-zero goals, adapt to climate change, and create more resilient, human-centric communities. 

Our panellists will bring their knowledge of sustainable technology to the discussion to help demonstrate how innovation can deliver a built environment that will define the future of our planet, exploring the opportunities and challenges, and how we can keep up with this constantly evolving field.
