This session examined how escalating conflict and geopolitical volatility in the Middle East is reshaping the risk landscape for companies operating in the built environment and infrastructure realm. Drawing on current conflict dynamics and regional outlooks, our experts explored various scenarios for the Middle East. The discussion focused on practical implications for organisations operating in or exposed to the region, highlighted the key risks to monitor, plausible escalation scenarios, and how project owners, developers, and contractors can strengthen resilience and decision‑making in an increasingly uncertain environment.
