Dubai, UAE – With UAE’s construction sector estimated at USD 640bn and the wider GCC region recording USD 2.7 trillion plus worth of projects, the burgeoning construction sector of the desert nations calls for extensive geotechnical construction services. Against this backdrop, Dubai is set to host the International Geotechnical Innovation Conference (IGIC) UAE on October 30-31, 2024, at the Le Méridien Dubai Hotel & Conference Centre. The event is supported by Dubai Municipality, Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL), Abu Dhabi University, and Khalifa University.
