CIF DIGITAL CONSTRUCTION SUMMIT 2024
Prioritising innovation and digital technology to sustain economic growth
22nd October, 2024
Croke Park, Dublin
Prioritising innovation and digital technology to increase productivity
The 2024 Digital Construction Summit will bring together Ireland’s leading CEOs, thought leaders and other key champions for digital adoption to discuss how the industry must embrace smart construction and digital technology in order to transform itself. The industry faces a plethora of challenges that impede efficiency, productivity, and sustainability and while advancements in technology have improved certain aspects of construction processes, many persistent challenges remain.
Leadership and change management are key to driving innovation and ensuring the continued attraction of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to sustain economic growth. A pipeline of MMC projects is crucial for the industry and particularly in the public sector that can lead by example. Our expert speakers will discuss why many firms struggle with adopting and integrating new technologies and what the most common barriers are to technology adoption in the construction industry.
You will hear from expert thought leaders how emerging technologies are creating new opportunities and unique challenges for the future and how digital technologies have transformed our society and our daily lives.
Furthermore with growing concerns about climate change and environmental degradation, there’s increasing pressure on the construction industry to adopt sustainable practices. This includes reducing carbon emissions, minimising waste, using eco-friendly materials, and implementing green building standards. Experts will discuss how technology can help with meeting the reporting requirements in relation to sustainability that will aid and increase efficiency and productivity.
Another pressing challenge in the construction industry is the shortage of skilled labour. We must future proof the construction industry by investing in the well-being of our people, upskilling and empowering our current workforce, providing effective training for the workers of the future and building an inclusive and diverse workforce.
