Former Administrator at the Federal Railroad Administration Amit Bose helped us open last week's 2025 Infrastructure Conference, moderating the first panel examining how organizations can integrate capital, innovation, and strategy for resilient infrastructure. Panelists focused on risk management, community engagement, funding concerns, and coordination challenges, providing real-life examples including Amtrak and Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA). We're so glad you could join us, Amit! For anyone who missed last week's session or is interested in hearing more from Amit, check out our exclusive one-on-one interview: https://lnkd.in/eduymJS4

It was great to hear from 4M Analytics Public Sector Solutions Engineer Maximillian Ovett on this week's panel sharing his perspective into how to achieve optimized costs of infrastructure asset ownership! Maximillian and the rest of the panel offered some great takeaways in the panel, including insights into how AI and data aggregation can reduce pre-construction risks and delays. Thanks for joining us, Maximillian! We're looking forward to connecting again soon at another BuiltWorlds event.

Thanks for joining us last week, Ed! It was a stellar panel and we walked away with some very actionable takeaways, including the charge for A&E firms to leverage domain expertise to help owners adopt new technologies and that process change, which requires addressing polices, specs, and contractual obligations, is harder than technology change and so must be addressed carefully. Looking forward to connecting again soon at another BuiltWorlds event!

This year's Infrastructure Conference Demo Day was a competition like no other! Our innovative entrepreneurs pitched their infrastructure-focused solutions to a panel of demo judges made up of representatives from Kajima, Arup, Braemar Energy Ventures, Leonard by VINCI, Infrastructure Ventures, Oldcastle Infrastructure, and Exelon. While all our competitors presented exciting solutions, two stood out to the judges and tied for first place in the day's competition.

Principles of the circular economy, in many ways, seem like a perfect fit for construction, as the industry generates more than 2 billion tons of waste annually—a considerable amount of which is feasibly reusable. Yet, we've been slow to adopt. In today's installment of BuiltWorlds Conversations, a teaser for the upcoming Tokyo Global Summit, we'll be sitting down with Adeline Chan (AAL INNOVATION), Yuji Doi (Kajima), and Zhuan Zhang (AAL Innovation) to dig into what exactly the circular economy is, why it has yet to achieve widespread adoption in the industry, and why companies may want to consider it in the future. Register for today's webinar, happening at 8pm CST in the U.S. (which is tomorrow at 10am in local Tokyo time): https://lnkd.in/guY4bJKS We hope you'll join us for what we expect to be an insightful conversation about a topic that could transform the way we think about sustainability in the AEC industry. And if you can't join us for this episode of BuiltWorlds Conversations, we hope you'll join us at the Tokyo Global Summit. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/gHaebZye
