An exclusive summit for 100 of the world’s most senior leaders in the infrastructure sector. This invitation only event will provide a forum for leaders in the global infrastructure sector to connect with peers from around the world to share knowledge and to discuss solutions to major issues facing them, their leadership teams and organisations.     

Delegates attending will include CEOs and c-suite executives from the global infrastructure community, including those working in government, finance, consulting engineering, construction, professional services, supply chain, construction products manufacturers, merchants, academia, trade associations, asset owners and clients. Invited guests from other industries will also attend to bring different perspectives and to challenge infrastructure sector conventions. 

By attending the event, delegates will make deep relationships among peers to enable greater collaboration, debate and reflection to solve some of the biggest challenges facing the global infrastructure sector and the organisations within it.

GLF Summit 2025 Theme

At this year’s event, we will consider: 

  • It feels like we have been debating sustainability goals and regulations, the skills shortage, digital transformation, cost management and efficiency for many years.  We are making progress, but is it too slow? Do we need radical culture change to speed up and embed progress? 
  • How does the sector collaborate more effectively and work to a common framework for delivering decarbonisation of infrastructure?  Continued work on a collaboration programme which started as a result of our very first Global Leadership Summit. 
  • How does the sector collaborate more effectively and work to a common framework for embedding AI and using this to drive better outcomes for our clients, programmes and our own organisations? This will be the ‘next chapter’ of a report produced as part of the 2024 Global Leadership Forum programme. 
  • How do we close the gap between the designers, contractors and their supply chain of construction product manufacturers and merchants to ensure the right construction products are specified and delivered to enable the successful decarbonisation of infrastructure projects? 

Global Leadership Forum overview

The exclusive Global Leadership Forum brings together some 100 leaders from across the globe to play a key role in helping to address global challenges and creating a united, influential, international voice for the infrastructure industry.

FIDIC announced the formation of the Global Leadership Forum in September 2021 to bring senior influencers and decision makers together from the construction and infrastructure sectors to help address the critical issues we face as a society and an industry and to develop workable solutions to solve them.   

The forum provides a powerful global network for leaders to discuss these issues.  Through their discussions, deliberations and actions, we will be able to build a solid coalition of support and buy-in for what needs to be done to address the key global challenges we face and, crucially, how we collaborate to solve them. 

Participants of FIDIC’s Global Leadership Forum are selected based on their prominent knowledge and expertise across the sector.
