Global BIM Summit
Pre-Event Series
Pre-event Series
Governments across the world are transforming the way infrastructure is designed, built, operated and integrated by implementing Building Information Modelling (BIM) to improve social, economic and environmental outcomes for people and places. By governments and multi-lateral institutions and investment banks encouraging the adoption of BIM across the value chain, there is greater opportunity to deliver both public and private-sector benefits.
Through a series of four webinars, we will hear from public sector, multi-lateral representatives and leading BIM initiatives across the world.
By attending the pre-event series, you will learn:
- Best practice in national BIM introduction for the public sector, industry, and the built environment
- How governments and multilateral investors are driving productivity in the global construction market through introduction of standards and standardization
- The social, economic and environmental benefits and real-world impacts of digital transformation in the design and delivery of national infrastructure
