Venture Capital Outlook: The Global Flow of Funds
Panel Discussion
Analyze the shifting landscape of investment in AEC tech with a panel of leading institutional and corporate venture capitalists. This discussion focuses on where capital is currently flowing, which sub-sectors are seeing the most growth, and how macroeconomic factors are influencing startup valuations globally.
From Disconnected Supply Chains to Integrated Project Answers: How AI Improves AEC Information Access
Workshop
Construction project information is often spread across disconnected applications at suppliers and subcontractors, making it hard to align design, cost, and execution data in one place. The result is miscommunication, errors, rework, and cost or schedule overruns—especially when teams need answers quickly.
This session highlights an AI-powered, MCP-first approach that connects systems in real time to provide integrated, permissions-aware access to project information. We’ll walk through a working example integrating Autodesk Platform Services with Procore, showing how conversational AI can deliver fast, context-aware answers, helping teams make decisions faster and reducing coordination friction across the project lifecycle.
Case Study: Autonomy on the Jobsite
Presentation
Hear from Dubai Municipality, which, in collaboration with Zacua Ventures, the Würth Group, specialised robotics companies, local contractors, and engineering firms, is constructing the world’s first residential villa entirely through robotic construction systems.
More information TBA.
Lunch
Scaling Industrialized & Modular Construction
Panel Discussion
As the industry moves toward off-site manufacturing, this panel explores the challenges of scaling modular construction globally. Experts will discuss design-for-manufacture (DfMA) principles, supply chain logistics, and the role of industrialized methods in solving the global housing crisis and addressing the ever-present labor shortage.
Kajima Corporation Spotlight - CO2-SUICOM and Material Science Research
Presentation
