AHMED BIN MOHAMMED TOURS BIG 5 GLOBAL


Published Tuesday, November 26, 2024
By E247

H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of
Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Media Council, toured the 45th edition of Big 5
Global, the Middle East, Africa and South Asia’s largest and most influential
construction sector event, which commenced at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

During his visit, Sheikh Ahmed highlighted the important role of the
construction sector as a key pillar of the UAE’s economy, driving national
growth.

He emphasised that the sector, alongside urban development and infrastructure
initiatives, continues to spearhead innovation and digital transformation in
alignment with the UAE’s commitment to sustainable development and its position
as a global leader in climate action.

Solidifying its legacy of 44 years, Big 5 Global has firmly established Dubai as
one of the world’s best cities to live in. Dubai’s ultra-modern infrastructure,
safe living environment, social and economic indicators, accessibility to
international markets, world-class facilities, and its geographical location at
the heart of a region experiencing rapid growth and abundant investment
opportunities have all contributed to making it truly one of a kind.

Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, opened
the Big 5 Global Leaders’ Summit and emphasised that the UAE has proved itself a
global leader in integrating sustainability in the construction sector by
adopting state-of-the-art technologies and innovative solutions.

He said, “The construction sector in the UAE is witnessing a major shift towards
sustainability through the integration of modern technology and smart practices
that support the achievement of our national goals. We are committed to applying
strict standards in construction and infrastructure projects to ensure the
sustainability of resources and reduce the carbon footprint.”

Al Mazrouei noted that the UAE has evolved comprehensive guidelines for
achieving sustainability across the construction, maintenance, and housing
sectors, and put in place clear standards relating to energy consumption and the
use of sustainable materials. He stressed that these efforts are in line with
the country’s vision to promote sustainable urban development.

He said, “Innovation in construction and infrastructure development is pivotal,
and this is where the 'UAE National Guide for Smart Construction' comes into
play. This comprehensive guide is designed to standardise smart construction
practices across all new projects thus ensuring that smart technologies and
digital designs lead the way in our construction industry. Further enhancing our
national landscape is the 3D Digital Twin project – an innovative platform that
maps out our urban infrastructure, enabling precise planning and substantial
enhancements in our cities' livability and sustainability.

He added, “The challenges facing the world today in the field of sustainability
require close cooperation between the public and private sectors. We in the UAE
believe that strong partnerships and innovation are the key to building a
sustainable future that keeps pace with the aspirations of future generations.”

Al Mazrouei praised the role of Big 5 Global as an international platform that
brings together key players and experts in the construction sector, stressing
that such events contribute to enhancing the role of governments and the private
sector in exchanging knowledge and expertise and supporting the global shift
towards sustainability in the construction sector.

Taking place from 26th to 29th November 2024, at the Dubai World Trade Centre,
Big 5 Global hosts a global gathering of industry professionals in urban
development, construction, geospatial and facilities management, bringing
together more than 100,000 attendees from over 165 countries and more than 2,700
exhibitors from over 60 countries, showcasing more than 60,000 innovative
products. The event is co-located with specialised events, such as
LiveableCitiesX, Future FM and GeoWorld, Heavy, Totally Concrete, HVAC R Expo,
Marble & Stone World and Urban Design & Landscape.
