It’s clear that the infrastructure of tomorrow extends beyond civil structures; it involves the complex interconnected systems of technology, the built and natural environment, and, of course, people. With Saudi Arabia and Dubai at the forefront of groundbreaking innovation, the collective threads of visionary thinking and transformative change resonate with the ethos of SEMP. Many of the issues related to the delivery of complex projects can be reduced by following a systems approach. Through a shared commitment to achieving better, we can redefine the infrastructure development landscape and bring visionary projects to life.
