Jacobs Case Study

Thought Leadership & Networking Event

Background

Jacobs is an international technical professional services firm which provides engineering, technical, and construction services, as well as scientific and specialty consulting for a broad range of clients globally. 

The Brief

Jacobs wanted to raise its profile and engage directly with city leaders during the UK’s Real Estate Investment and Infrastructure Forum (UKREiiF) which was being held in Leeds in May 2024.

The Solution

SmartCitiesWorld Connect created a bespoke roundtable event which ran on the day preceding the UKREiiF Forum.  The aim was to deliver a collaborative discussion amongst diverse stakeholders within local authorities and their partners to spark innovative ideas and actionable strategies to unlock the financial potential for large-scale, sustainable urban development. By sharing knowledge and experiences, participants were able to pave the way for a future where cities can thrive while contributing to a sustainable future.
