Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – The highly anticipated Construction Technology ConFex KSA (CTF KSA) is back for its 4th edition, set to take place on October 23, 2024, at the Crowne Plaza RDC in Riyadh. The event will gather over 800 industry experts to explore the latest innovations shaping Saudi Arabia’s mega and giga projects.
As Saudi Arabia’s construction market continues to expand, CTF KSA 2024 will focus on key themes: performance & efficiency, viability & competitive edge, and climate & well-being. These discussions are crucial as the Kingdom’s ambitious project portfolio grows, demanding cutting-edge construction technology (ConTech) solutions. Notably, the event will see a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the Saudi Contractors Authority (SCA), cementing collaboration efforts in the construction sector.
Dr. Hassan Albawi, Founder of WakeCap, shared, “CTF KSA has become a pivotal platform for global leaders and innovators to share ideas and adopt technologies that will shape Saudi Arabia’s built environment. We look forward to contributing to these important discussions.”
Key Focus Areas of CTF KSA 2024
The event will delve into several critical trends shaping the construction sector:
- Data Residency and AI: The increasing demand for in-Kingdom data centers, driven by local data laws, is spurring digital transformation. AI integration is also gaining momentum, streamlining processes in document governance, design automation, and data management.
- Supply Chain Innovation: As giga projects move forward, technology is essential for managing supply chain visibility and tracking, particularly in overcoming integration challenges across the project lifecycle.
- Sustainability and Social Well-being: Post-COP28, the focus on sustainability will be amplified, emphasizing safety, wellness, and inclusivity in construction. Projects are increasingly using digital tools to monitor carbon footprints, perform lifecycle analyses, and optimize waste management.
Emerging technologies such as AI, digital twins, and cloud platforms will also be highlighted, transforming the industry through enhanced visualization and collaboration tools, enabling more informed decision-making throughout project execution.
