The future of the infrastructure sector is going under the spotlight at a new event launched by the Associations for Consultancy and Engineering (ACE).

Delivering Infrastructure 2050 is taking place in London on 30 June and will bring industry together to explore the innovations, investments and practical solutions that will define Britain’s infrastructure today and for decades to come.

The UK’s consultancy and engineering sector is tackling some of the nation’s most pressing infrastructure challenges, from delivering resilience and restoring nature to improving productivity and building a workforce of tomorrow. 

The event will be the opportunity to hear from senior leaders shaping the UK’s infrastructure agenda. It is also the chance to  gain practical, applicable insights, discover real examples of climate-resilient, future-ready infrastructure and influence the decisions that will shape the sector for generations to come.

CEOs, MDs, directors, senior engineers, government and investors will come together for the conference to address the sector’s biggest short- and long-term challenges.

Key themes are innovation and productivity; climate-resilient, nature positive, infrastructure in action; future skills and talent and collaboration and investment.
