infrastructure cooperation and innovation
MACAU, June 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The 15th International
Infrastructure Investment and Construction Forum (IIICF), co-hosted
by China International Contractors Association (CHINCA) and Macao
Trade and Investment Promotion Institute (IPIM), was held in
Macao on June 20, 2024.
Recognized as a leading global event for infrastructure
collaboration, the IIICF serves as a key international platform to
enhance infrastructure connectivity under the Belt and Road

The theme of "Green Innovative Digital Connectivity"
brought together over 200 speakers to explore this burgeoning
industry and to engage in thought-provoking dialogues on emerging
topics including energy transition, digital evolution, green
investment, ESG management, digital integration of international
engineering projects, dispute resolution, risk mitigation, and
regional infrastructure connectivity. The discussions aim to
contribute China's expertise and
innovative solutions to international infrastructure cooperation,
catalyze new growth in infrastructure partnerships between
China and the countries involved
in the Belt and Road Initiative, and foster consensus and insights
for the sustainable development of the global infrastructure
industry.

green technology at the forefront, the exhibition spotlights the
latest advancements in clean energy, green building practices,
energy-efficient material innovations, sewage treatment techniques,
and successful smart city implementations;
- Innovation and Technology Leadership: The focus is on
the display of construction robots, intelligent sensing and
monitoring equipment, smart scheduling systems, autonomous driving
technologies, intelligent construction methods, novel engineering
materials, and prefabricated building solutions;
- Digital Integration and Intelligent Empowerment: A
comprehensive exhibition of digital infrastructure solutions and
the application of big data, cloud computing, and the Internet of
Things (IoT) in international engineering projects. It will also
showcase the latest practices in digital transformation for project
management and urban development.
- Connectivity and Collaborative Success: Highlighting
landmark projects that demonstrate global infrastructure
connectivity and China's
participation in joint construction efforts in countries and
regions targeted by the Belt and Road Initiative. These include
