Conference

The Cities, Mobility & Infrastructure Forum at Innovation Zero MENA 2026

With MENA’s infrastructure and built environment sector set to undergo expansion over the coming years, our Cities, Mobility & Infrastructure Forum will explore how the region’s growth ambitions are being matched by revolutionary approaches to urban planning and infrastructure development.

From urban cooling and district cooling and to low carbon materials decarbonizing aviation, this forum spotlights the innovation that is reshaping the region’s urban future.

Key Themes 

Sustainable Urban Development: Designing future-ready cities powered by clean energy and smart technologies. 

Decarbonising Heavy Industry: Reducing emissions across cement, steel, petrochemicals, and manufacturing. 

Inclusive & Healthy Cities: Building sustainable housing and urban communities that prioritise liveability, accessibility, and green design. 

Green Megaprojects: Integrating net zero principles into airports, stadiums, and national infrastructure. 

Sustainable Aviation & Transport: Scaling low-emission mobility solutions and clean aviation fuels. 

Critical Minerals & Circular Resources: Enabling low-carbon mining and efficient material supply chains. 

Nature-Positive Development: Embedding biodiversity and ecosystem thinking into the urban fabric.
