Ramaphosa to deliver keynote at Innovative Building Technologies Summit
President Cyril Ramaphosa will deliver a keynote address at the Innovative Building Technologies (IBT) Summit at the Nasrec Expo Centre, in Johannesburg, on February 3, as a show of his support for cost-effective, sustainable and disaster-resilient construction solutions.
The two-day summit will bring together government officials, representatives from the building and construction industry, academia, investors, and civil society to advance innovative solutions for the delivery of sustainable human settlements.
Held under the theme ‘Mainstreaming IBTs for Sustainable Human Settlements’, the summit is aimed at accelerating the adoption of IBTs to enhance housing delivery across South Africa.
IBTs offer alternatives that improve efficiency through lightweight structures, energy-efficient designs, prefabrication, and environmentally sustainable construction methods. The summit is being held as South Africa continues to confront a significant housing backlog, rapid urbanisation and the increasing impacts of climate change.
The objectives of the IBT Summit include strengthening policy integration for IBTs within human settlements, fostering collaboration and investment between government, the private sector, nonprofit organisations and international stakeholders, and showcasing disruptive innovation in construction.
The summit will further highlight how IBTs can support disaster-resistant and climate-resilient housing, contribute to community rebuilding efforts, and ensure better preparedness for future crises.
In addition, the summit seeks to raise awareness among beneficiaries, policymakers and industry stakeholders about the affordability, speed and sustainability of IBTs.
