VISION: GLOBALIZING URBAN GIGA-PROJECTS THROUGH TECHNOLOGY, POWERED BY ROSHN
Future Investment Initiative 7th Edition | October 26th, 2023
Real estate Giga-projects play a pivotal role in GCC development, reshaping the built environment with unprecedented capital investment and creativity â yet ambitious engineering projects have yet to find real resonance in much of America, Europe, Asia and Africa. Mckinsey's research highlights that 98% of Giga-projects encounter substantial cost overruns and delays of up to 20 months. Can the integration of AI, BIM, computer-aided facility management, and asset registers empower developers to conquer logistical complexities, achieve unparalleled efficiency, and extend the exportability of the megaproject model beyond the region's borders?
