Smart Systems Engineering for Sustainable Networks

In recognition of World Engineering Day (WED) 2026, join us in celebrating Smart Engineering for a Sustainable Future Through Innovation and Digitalisation.

This panel discussion explores how smart systems, AI, and real-time data are being applied across transport, energy, water, and built assets to create sustainable, resilient, and high-performing infrastructure networks. The session brings together leading experts in systems engineering, digital advisory, and complex infrastructure integration to share practical insights, emerging digital practices, and lessons learned from real-world applications.

The discussion will highlight:

• how systems engineering and model-based systems engineering (MBSE) underpin smart, resilient infrastructure
• the role of digital intelligence, AI, and real-time data in optimising asset performance and sustainability
• socio-technical considerations, organisational barriers, and governance challenges in digital transformation
• practical approaches for embedding emerging digital engineering practices into legacy systems
