Project Economy Forum

The world is built through projects.

The Project Economy Forum is the global platform for the leaders who choose, fund and deliver them, across portfolios, capital projects, technology, R&D and transformation.

Different projects. The same questions.

A refinery, a drug pipeline, a banking platform and a national transformation programme look nothing alike. The leaders responsible for them face the same four questions:

  1. 01Decide

    What should we start, and what should we stop?

  2. 02Fund

    How do we fund it and govern it?

  3. 03Deliver

    How do we deliver on time and on budget?

  4. 04Prove

    How do we prove it was worth it?

The Forum is where these leaders meet to answer them together.

The leaders accountable for delivery.

  • CEOs and COOs
  • CFOs
  • Chief Strategy and Transformation Officers
  • CIOs
  • Heads of Capital Projects, Portfolio Management, R&D and Project Controls

Across energy, infrastructure, real estate, life sciences, technology, financial services and the public sector.

Senior executives at round tables read papers and take notes during a working session.
