Introduction
As the global representative body for national associations of consulting engineers, FIDIC represents over one million engineering professionals and 40,000 firms in more than 100 countries worldwide. The buildings and infrastructure sector in which FIDIC members work contributes around $36 trillion to global GDP, therefore FIDIC has significant reach into a highly influential global industry sector. 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, academia, trade associations and asset owners. Invited guests from other industries will also attend to bring different perspectives and to challenge infrastructure sector conventions. 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. The forum hosts one virtual meeting per year (November), one in
person summit per year (April) and operates four Think Tanks which debate and determine
outcomes to the most pressing challenges facing the global infrastructure sector. In 2024 the think
tank topics are as follows:
1.
Market intelligence
2.
Artificial intelligence
3.
Skills and capacity
4.
Decarbonisation of the infrastructure.
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

Global Leadership Forum Summit 25-26 April 2024 Geneva
Collaboration for Change An exclusive summit for 100 of the world’s most senior leaders in the infrastructure sector. This invitation only event will: • give unique access to the latest research into the state of the global infrastructure market • allow attendees to shape and contribute to a major piece of work to define what the future global infrastructure market will look like • facilitate the creation of deep relationships among peers to enable greater collaboration to solve some of the biggest challenges facing the global infrastructure sector and to develop relationships to benefit global business and society. At the summit we will debate and define the actions this collective group of leaders can implement to enable climate action and the achievement of net zero and to enable growth for the nations, people and organisations over which they have influence. Secure your place to: • Play your part to define how the global infrastructure sector can influence the achievement of global goals and economic challenges • Create conditions for collaboration to make change stick • Think the unthinkable in a safe space among peers • Better understand the global political dimension • Make valuable connections with your global peer group. Set in The President Wilson Hotel on the shore of Lake Geneva, Switzerland, we promise you a venue that allows you to achieve the head space to commit to 24 hours of talks, debate and discussion with your peers in a neutral and tranquil environment so that you leave having created real action and exerted influence with your peers. Summit places are available on an all inclusive basis, preferential rates have been negotiated with the hotel should you wish to extend your stay.
