A GCC platform convening government, institutions, and industry around BIM leadership, digital construction, and the modernisation of the built environment — held under official ministerial patronage in Kuwait.
The Gulf Digital Building Forum is co-organised by BIM MENA Strategic Advisory together with the Union of Kuwaiti Engineering Offices and Consulting Houses — placing the firm at the centre of the region's digital construction agenda.
The forum is led on the firm's behalf by Dr. Manal Aladwani, a Co-Founder of the forum, who served as Head of the Scientific Committee for the inaugural 2024 edition and as Secretary General for the 2025 edition.
The firm's contribution spans founding, the scientific agenda, and overall stewardship of the forum — positioning it as a credible, government-facing platform rather than a conventional industry event.
National BIM mandates, implementation frameworks, and lessons from regional and international policy models.
National digital twin platforms, federated BIM models, and linking BIM with GIS, IoT, and asset management.
Integrating BIM and digital construction in curricula, and upskilling professionals toward national goals.
Government-led adoption in public infrastructure, procurement reform, and digital delivery pathways.
Unified BIM standards, the role of public authorities, and data governance and model validation.
Policy-oriented research, AI and sustainability in regulation, and bridging academia and industry.
The second edition of the forum, convened in Kuwait under the official patronage of the Minister of State for Municipal Affairs and Minister of State for Housing Affairs.
The 2025 edition brought together public authorities, sponsors, and a programme of regional and international experts across four days of sessions and a dedicated workshop — anchored by the forum's six policy and governance themes.
