This session marks the soft launch of the FIDIC Collaborative Contract Form — development aimed to support improved collaboration between project participants to achieve clearly defined project outcomes. FIDIC`s new collaborative contract model is appropriate for any project where enhanced cooperation and early contractor involvement is needed—particularly those involving complex, multi-party interactions.

This session introduces the key features of the FIDIC collaborative form, outlines its unique approach, practical applications, and explores how it promotes shared responsibility, collaborative governance, and performance-based delivery across the entire project lifecycle.  

The presentation will be followed by a discussion on Collaborative Contracting in practice.   

Join FIDIC and industry leaders as they discuss and debate how this innovative contract can reshape project execution and provide long-term value for clients, consultants, and contractors alike.  

Key Topics:  

• Purpose, structure, and innovation behind the FIDIC Collaborative Contract Form.  
• Benefits of collaborative contracting in delivering complex and high-value projects.  
• How collaboration enhances risk sharing, dispute avoidance, and performance-based outcomes.  
• Collaborative Contracting in Practice: Is it broadly applicable or better suited to specific project types? What factors influence its effectiveness and successful implementation in practice.
