Tech Horizons: Why the Middle East Is Winning the Construction Tech Race
In this episode of Tech Horizons, we explore why the Middle East is rapidly emerging as a global testbed for construction and urban innovation. From ambitious development programs to accelerated technology adoption, the region is redefining how the built environment is planned, delivered, and operated.
The discussion examines the shift from smart cities to cognitive cities, the role of the “Golden Thread” of data, and the growing impact of AI, modular construction, and automation. We also look ahead to how advances such as quantum computing could transform project planning, reduce rework, and reshape the future of construction across the region and beyond.
