It was an honor to be invited by Neext, Drees & Sommer, to the Future Summit – Pioneering Tomorrow’s Real Estate, Industry and Infrastructure – as well as the talk on Uniting Opposites – Building Balance in Urban Spaces. The summit brought together experts, visionaries, and industry leaders to discuss innovative solutions and transformative strategies.
Bringing together people, governments, industries, and organizations is crucial and cannot be emphasized enough. Sustainability is a critical topic, not just in the real estate sector, and we see an ongoing tension between sustainability and economic growth. This is where technology and AI present a significant opportunity. They enable us to maintain economic growth while integrating more sustainable practices into our economy.
For example, AI can:
🔄 Identify reusable materials from demolished structures, efficiently reintegrating them into new constructions and reducing waste disposal costs.
⚡ Optimize energy systems, enhancing the efficiency of energy grids at all levels, from households to industrial plants.
🏗️ Support sustainable construction practices by identifying alternative, eco-friendly materials.
🔧 Enable predictive maintenance, extending the lifespan of equipment, saving costs, and minimizing waste.
🌿 Monitor carbon footprints using IoT, identifying key leakage areas and offering solutions to reduce emissions within buildings and plants.
These examples show how technology can simultaneously drive sustainable and economic growth. Instead of choosing between economic growth and sustainability, we should integrate these two fields to achieve both objectives.
