Overview

SUMMIT OVERVIEW

The RetrofitTech & Sustainable Buildings Summit Oman is a strategic industry platform focused on advancing energy efficiency, building retrofits, and sustainable construction solutions within the built environment. In Oman, this platform highlights national efforts to modernize existing building stock, reduce carbon emissions, and enhance operational efficiency in alignment with Oman Vision 2040.

The summit places strong emphasis on retrofitting existing buildings, recognizing their significant role in energy consumption and emissions. Through expert insights, case studies, and technology showcases, the event highlights practical approaches to upgrading buildings using energy-efficient systems, smart building technologies, sustainable materials, and low-carbon design strategies.

Aligned with Oman’s Net Zero ambitions, the summit explores how policy frameworks, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration can accelerate progress toward Net Zero buildings and cities. Discussions will address regulatory alignment, financing mechanisms, and implementation pathways that support measurable carbon reduction outcomes.

The RetrofitTech & Sustainable Buildings Summit Oman brings together government entities, developers, asset owners, architects, engineers, sustainability professionals, and technology providers to exchange knowledge, foster partnerships, and drive scalable sustainability solutions.

The summit serves as a catalyst for transforming Oman’s built environment into a resilient, energy-efficient, and future-ready sector.
