Produced by global conference organizers Expotrade, the summit will take place at Sofitel The Palm Resort and Spa, Dubai, UAE.

The importance of structural steel and the choice of the Smart Skyscrapers Summit are emphasized by Hiroyasu (Gabriel) Kobayashi, General Manager, Sales & Marketing, SULB Company, who will be speaking at the event.

SULB believes that this summit will provide the opportunity for designers and architects in the GCC, to be exposed to the technology that is already available in the region; This can result in the GCC redefining the skylines of GCC cities which will become the inspiration for future generations.”

Brad Hariharan, Regional Director, Expotrade Middle East, organizers of the conference, welcomed the partnership, saying, “It gives us great pleasure to welcome SULB Company as Platinum Sponsor of the Smart Skyscrapers Summit. Sustainability in the construction of high-rise development is critical and the importance of the right building material in this context cannot be emphasized enough. SULB’s commitment to a sustainable future is echoed in the core premise of the Smart Skyscrapers Summit as well. We look forward to a long and meaningful relationship with SULB Company.”

With the global shift towards sustainable urban development, using the right building material in the construction of smart skyscrapers is of the utmost importance. Structural steel and the role it can play in this move is a topic of particular relevance in this context. It is of special importance in the GCC region, where a number of countries are forging ahead with plans for advanced urban development.
