Bienvenidos a Málaga -
Welcome to Málaga
EIC and its Spanish Member Federation, SEOPAN, are pleased to invite you to the EIC Spring 2026 Conference in Málaga, with a Workshop on:
Building Tomorrow - AI, Digitalisation and Technology in Infrastructure Construction.
For SEOPAN, it is a particular pleasure to host this conference in Spain once again, following the successful EIC Spring Conference 2019 in Madrid.
Since then, the global construction sector has entered a decisive phase of transformation driven by the rapid rise of artificial intelligence, digitalisation, data and advanced technologies. These innovations are redefining how infrastructure is planned, designed, built and maintained, creating significant opportunities to boost efficiency, improve safety and support more sustainable outcomes. At the same time, they bring new challenges related to data governance, cybersecurity, legal liability, workforce capabilities, procurement practices and the ability of public institutions to adapt to rapid technological change. The way international contractors navigate these opportunities and risks will be critical for maintaining competitiveness and ensuring the delivery of resilient, future-ready infrastructure.
The workshop in Málaga will offer a forum for industry leaders, technology specialists, policy representatives and experts to examine practical applications of AI and digital tools, exchange experiences from ongoing projects and identify where these technologies can deliver tangible benefits across the entire project lifecycle—from early planning and design to construction, operation and maintenance. The discussions will highlight how digital platforms, data-driven processes, predictive analytics, digital twins, robotics, automation and cloud-based solutions are reshaping traditional project delivery models and accelerating innovation across the sector.
