Dear Colleagues, Partners, and Friends,

It is my distinct honor to welcome you to the FIDIC Asia Pacific Annual Conference 2026 in the vibrant city of Colombo, Sri Lanka.

This year, our engineering community stands at a historic crossroads. Centered on the accelerating technological revolution, our conference explores how digital transformation, AI, and smart infrastructure are reshaping project delivery. Yet, the true engine of this evolution is our shared community. This gathering marks the vital continuity of our regional collaboration, offering a dedicated platform for Member Associations (MAs) and their firms to share practical insights, engage in peer-to-peer learning, and bridge emerging technical competencies.

Crucially, this is where we connect with our FIDIC Future Leaders. Their energy, vision, and commitment to technological innovation and sustainability are what will ultimately guide the Asia Pacific region toward long-term prosperity.

I encourage all delegates to participate actively, exchange collective wisdom, and strengthen our regional bonds. Together, we are not just adapting to the future of engineering—we are actively building it.

Warm regards,

Dr. Widhoon Chiamchittrong
President, FIDIC Asia Pacific
