How Digital is Accelerating Infrastructure & Sustainability
IPFA Special Interest Group
This Special Interest Group will explore how digital tools and data-driven solutions enhance infrastructure planning, financing, delivery and operations across energy, transport, water, waste and social infrastructure. Through discussions on AI, digital twins, data platforms and advanced analytics, it will examine how technology can optimise asset performance, strengthen resource management, support climate mitigation and adaptation, and improve infrastructure resilience. We will also consider how digital solutions enable better governance, sustainable finance and nature-positive outcomes through smarter decision-making, cross-regional collaboration and scalable approaches that can be applied across sectors and geographies.
