CCi is a proud Platinum sponsor at the 5th edition of the Construction Risk Management conference in Europe.
The construction industry is poised for increased volatility due to factors such as climate change, the push towards net zero, inflation, the introduction of novel building products, geopolitical tensions, and vulnerabilities in the supply chain. As construction projects grow in scale and complexity, leaders in the field are confronted with an expanding array of challenges that are continually evolving. Consequently, the importance of risk management has never been more crucial, as it plays a progressively vital role in overseeing, controlling, and transferring risks through insurance solutions within the construction sector.
This year’s conference will provide insightful analysis and debate enabling risk professionals in the construction industry to increase their knowledge and adapt their risk strategies during this crucial period of evolution and transition for the market.
