The Ajman Chamber organized the 'Construction Trajectory' Forum in collaboration with the Building Materials Group (BMG), which is affiliated with the Dubai Chamber. The primary goal of the forum was to foster greater cooperation and positive partnerships among entities operating in the construction and real estate sectors, while also showcasing the future of construction, along with its latest tools and innovations. Held at the Fairmont Ajman, the forum drew significant attendance from industry and government leaders. The distinguished list of attendees included Mohamed Ali Al Janahi (Executive Director of Member Support Services Sector at the Ajman Chamber), Dr. Mostafa Sasa (Head of the Building Materials Group—BMG), and Michel Dib Hanna (Head of Industrial Sector Business Groups at the Ajman Chamber and CEO of Speed House Group). They were joined by officials from key Ajman governmental bodies, the Ajman Free Zone, the Municipality and Planning Department, the Department of Economic Development, and the Department of Land and Real Estate Regulation—alongside top investors and business owners from the Emirate's construction and real estate sectors. The forum commenced with a welcome address from Mohammed Al Janahi, who emphasized the event's critical importance and the strategic agenda it was designed to address. The core themes highlighted in his opening remarks included: the current status and future trends of the construction and real estate sectors; a review of the latest tools and technologies supporting project quality, efficiency, and rapid completion; exploring mechanisms for cooperation opportunities among suppliers, developers, and contractors; addressing environmental sustainability and resource preservation; and promoting knowledge transfer and capacity building within both the construction and real estate fields. He added, "Ajman continues to advance by leaps and bounds in the growth of its construction and real estate markets, solidifying its standing as a compelling hub for promising investment. This achievement is driven by the Emirate's robust economic foundations and cutting-edge infrastructure, which actively promote business growth and ensure the long-term viability of projects." He indicated that this continuous growth was directly reflected in the membership indicators of the Ajman Chamber. Membership in the Construction and Building activities reached 5,560 members in 2024, representing a 9% growth rate. Furthermore, membership in Real Estate activities increased to 851 members during 2024, with a significant growth rate of 30%. This, in turn, has enhanced the contribution of the Construction and Building sectors to the Emirate's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) to 16.5%, while the Real Estate sector's contribution stands at 13% for the year 2024. The Ajman Free Zone presented its case, highlighting the compelling investment advantages available within the Emirate's free zones. The presentation specifically emphasized the provision of integrated, appealing infrastructure designed to bolster business sustainability and growth. The Building Materials Group (BMG) delivered a key presentation outlining its vision and strategic objectives: strengthen communication among industry professionals, facilitate knowledge exchange, and generate new business opportunities crucial for the sector's evolution. The BMG underscored its function as a dynamic platform dedicated to communication and fostering a professional community based on trust and participation, ultimately aiming to drive positive transformation, innovation, and growth in the building materials industry. The event's agenda prominently featured bilateral business sessions between the participating entities. This inclusion emphasized the forum's essential role as a platform for enhancing communication and acting as a launchpad towards a new phase of cooperation and joint work among government bodies and private companies operating in the construction and building sector. A key outcome was the development of actionable recommendations and solutions intended to contribute significantly to the growth of both the construction and real estate sectors.
