In a complex business environment: shifting policies and regulations; competence and talent shortages; technological advancement and ever-increasing amounts of data; growing pressure on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) considerations, etc., the Real Estate and Construction market is expected to significantly evolve in the coming years.
