What’s NOW | Constructing Tomorrow

Date: 26^th March 2025

Time: 13:30 – 17:15

Location: AIE, Holborn

The way we build and construct must undergo a fundamental transformation. Traditional methods won’t solve today’s challenges—we need a radical reset. Rethinking outdated models is essential to deliver faster, more cost-effectively, with greater resilience, lower carbon emissions and infrastructure built for the future.

The UK’s infrastructure sector is at a tipping point. Ageing assets, a growing population, and mounting sustainability demands persist despite record investments. Projects face an average 20-month delay and cost overruns of up to 80%. With major investments like BlackRock’s acquisition of Global Infrastructure Partners and Ofwat’s £88 billion water initiative, innovation is no longer optional—it’s critical.

The message is clear: the old ways are obsolete. Without adopting a digital-first mindset, progress is impossible. We must rethink how we build, design, and deliver.

This event will be hosted by the Applied Innovation Exchange, uniting leaders across energy, utilities, transport, mobility, manufacturing and engineering to reimagine infrastructure delivery, embrace digital innovation and create a resilient, future-proof foundation. Seize this opportunity to lead the transformation of UK infrastructure, learning how to deliver projects five times faster and at 50% of the traditional cost.
