ABOUT THE GLOBAL
LEADERSHIP FORUM
The exclusive Global
Leadership Forum brings
together some 200 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.

them.”

Advisory Board
The Global Leadership Forum is led by a global advisory board of
industry leaders who share expertise and help set the direction of
the forum – examining areas for research ranging from climate
metrics to SDGs.
The advisory board members were selected on the basis of their
key positions, knowledge and expertise of the engineering,
investment, construction and wider infrastructure sectors. The
advisory board has a remit to establish working think-tanks with a
mandate to bring other global industry leaders together to
deliberate on key global issues and produce tangible insights to
enhance the sector’s public engagement and activity.
