المملكة: The Kingdom has become a global platform in geodic engineering

Engineer Abdullah Al -Shamrani, CEO of the Saudi Geological Survey, confirmed that the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has occupied a pioneering position on the world engineering innovation map.
He pointed out that the launch of the work of the second international conference for innovation in geotechnical engineering «IGIC 2025» reflects this growing role, and embodies the Kingdom’s commitment to enhance the concepts of sustainability and innovation and the application of international best practices in its development projects.
In his speech during the opening of the conference today, Al -Shamrani explained that «IGIC 2025» is a unique conference in the Middle East region, and it will be held in its second edition on the land of the Kingdom, with the wide participation of the elite engineers, experts and researchers in the field of geotechnical engineering from different countries of the world.
The conference aims to discuss the latest findings of studies and research in this vital sector, and to review advanced technologies that contribute to improving the efficiency of implementation and ensuring the quality and sustainability of engineering projects.
He pointed out that the conference focuses on the application of the concept of sustainability in all stages of geotechnical engineering projects, including planning, design and implementation, in addition to discussing ways to enhance innovation in this field, and the need to develop engineering solutions to confront the increasing environmental and natural challenges, stressing the importance of shift from traditional models to modern methods that depend on smart technology and accurate data.

Al -Shamrani stressed that the Kingdom, through this conference and other qualitative initiatives, seeks to establish its position as an advanced scientific center in the region, and a global forum for researchers, practitioners and professionals in various fields of land and engineering sciences. He also pointed out that the conference contributes to expanding the scope of strategic partnerships between governmental and private agencies, academic institutions, equipment suppliers and advanced technical solutions, which enhances the integration of efforts towards achieving comprehensive and sustainable development.
He added that the convening of this conference coincides with the Kingdom’s unprecedented renaissance in all fields, driven by the Saudi vision 2030, which attaches great importance to scientific research, innovation and human capabilities. The conference is an important opportunity to exchange field experiences, develop skills, and see the latest science in this field, which supports the continuity of excellence and leadership in implementing major national projects.
The IGIC 2025 is a specialized international platform aimed at enhancing research and applied cooperation in the fields of geometric engineering, discussing the latest scientific trends, and anticipating the future of innovation in infrastructure projects, with the participation of universities, research centers and engineering institutions from all over the world, in addition to a number of prominent speakers who review future visions and advanced experiences in the areas of sustainability and engineering Smart.
