CTF KSA 2025: Building a Sustainable
Future for the Kingdom’s Giga and
Mega Projects

Mega projects are an immense source of both economic and social value, introducing new opportunities, new cities, and new industries. Nevertheless, it also represents a huge environmental footprint.

According to the World Green Building Council, 39% of all global carbon emissions are attributed to the construction industry, including an 11% portion during the manufacturing of building materials and a 28% portion of existing building operations.

These challenges are further compounded in the context of the Kingdom, where giga-projects are emerging at an unprecedented pace and magnitude:

• Minimising carbon footprints without reducing construction speed or quality.
• Controlling excessive energy and water usage in a desert environment with few natural resources.
• Reducing the waste production at high development rates and recycling of materials appropriately.

Sustainable Development: A Competitive Advantage

Sustainability in the modern marketplace is not only concerned with the environment; it is also about competitive positioning. Developers who take the path of sustainable construction enjoy several benefits:

Cost Effectiveness:

Energy-saving designs and resource optimisations reduce running expenses during the life of the building.

Investor Confidence:

Projects that have good green credentials are more apt to receive investors and funding organisations located internationally.

Market Recognition:

Buildings which develop in accordance with global sustainability requirements such as LEED, BREEAM or Estidama have higher prestige and quicker market absorption.

According to a recent study, organisations that have incorporated sustainability into their core business strategy are more likely to become long-term profitable than organisations that consider this as a supplementary program.

In the case of Saudi Arabian giga projects, this means higher investment inflows, a better image and more competitiveness globally.

Greener Materials and Methods

Energy-Efficient Infrastructure

Energy is a strong sustainability priority. During CTF KSA 2025, visitors will see:

• Net-zero buildings have renewable energy systems installed.
• The facades coupled with solar panels would generate clean energy and shade.
• Smart HVAC that is installed with AI to optimise cooling in hot climates

Innovation Water Management

In Saudi Arabia, the wise water consumption is significant, as the climatic conditions of this state are arid:

• Greywater recycling systems are available that can be reused in non-potable and landscaping applications.
• The IoT and smart irrigation synchronise the watering plan based on both moisture levels in the soil and weather parameters.

Sustainable Smart Monitoring

Modern tools are making it possible to track real-time performance of environmental factors:

• Energy, air quality, and water quality are verified with the IoT sensors.
• AI analytics predicts the requirements of the maintenance processes and increases productivity.

Whom You’ll Meet at CTF KSA 2025

The event is a very focussed platform targeted at decision-makers and influencers that are driving the construction sector in the Kingdom:

• C-level management and managing directors of major developers and contractors, as well as partners.
• Directors and department heads are in charge of the project delivery and sustainability.
• SVPs, VPs, and senior managers in charge of procurement and adoption of innovation.

Through these professionals, exhibitors and visitors have direct access to billion-riyal demands and purchase origins.
