Purpose of the presentations
Sustainability West Midlands in partnership with the Innovation Alliance for the West Midlands and CITB convened an event aimed at encouraging the construction industry to adopt digital technologies in order to improve productivity, sustainability and efficiency. We heard from the latest in local and national support and funding opportunities for the sector and a panel of expert practitioners who provided their insight into the benefits of digital technologies for the industry. We also ran two parallel workshops; one focusing on bringing in digital skills into the sector and another looking at innovation.
