The Cities & Infrastructure Forum at Innovation Zero MENA 2025

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

From visionary smart cities to low-emission megaprojects, this forum connects the dots between innovation, engineering, investment, and policy to build the cities and infrastructure of tomorrow. 

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.
