DRIVING INNOVATION AND PROGRESS TO SUPPORT IRELAND’S DEVELOPMENT

The CIF Annual Conference  is the must-attend event for the entire construction sector. The Summit will bring together senior sector leaders, policy-makers and other stakeholders to discuss developments across the county to facilitate the successful delivery of crucial policies to support a viable construction industry. The industry plays a key role in building Ireland’s future and needs the policy initiatives to ensure it can foster sustainable economic prosperity and competitiveness to support our evolving nation. The Government’s commitment to investing in the NDP is crucial for providing this certainty to support investment and growth in the sector.

Significant progress that has been made by the industry in the last 12 months highlighting critical infrastructure issues that directly impact housing, FDI, and national wellbeing. However there are still unresolved challenges in water supply, electricity, and transport that demand urgent and actionable solutions.  We critically need to construct a sustainable built environment including roads, transport systems, schools, hospitals and utilities, which in turn will underpin the country’s ability to realise housing targets and to meet our critical climate commitment targets.

Expert speakers will discuss a range of pertinent industry issues including:

·       the challenges and opportunities for housing delivery in Ireland and the implementation of the National Development Plan (NDP);

·       innovating for enhanced productivity, embracing emerging technologies and the surge of ArtificiaI Intelligence (AI)

·       supporting businesses in adapting to changing regulations and technologies

·       educating the workforce of the future, increasing pathways into construction and ensuring a diverse and inclusive work culture to ensure a pipeline of talent for the industry.

In this significant year that the CIF proudly celebrates the momentous milestone of its  90th anniversary we will reflect on the remarkable achievements of the past, and setting our sights on the promising future that lies ahead.
