Architecture, Engineering & Construction (AEC)
The engineering and construction sector has recovered significantly from the recession of 2020, but it has also faced numerous challenges that are anticipated to last.
The engineering and construction industry is poised for an integral role in the push toward a net-zero future. Given a gathering societal momentum surrounding a growing demand for decarbonization and resiliency of assets, the E&C industry will likely build out greener operating models to capture new sources of revenue and profits.
