The EU co-chaired the International Conference for Reconstruction of Iraq which was held in Kuwait on 12 -14 February 2018 and which Dr. Khaled Emam, Managing Director of bw engineers Emirates, attended.

The conference was the first of its kind and aimed to achieve security and stability in Iraq through a developmental start in the reconstruction of Iraq and the achievement of the effective participation of the international community in all its sectors.

The purpose of this conference was to mobilize renewed international support for Iraq’s reconstruction and development plans and to enhance collaboration between bilateral donors, multi-lateral development institutions and private sector investors as part of this process.

Germany’s development minister Gerd Müller (CSU) promised a prospective sum of 350 Million Euro to support the reconstruction.

bw engineers representative Dr. Khaled Emam made use of this exceptional event to explore opportunities for the future engagement of the bw-e cluster.

The Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Housing  Baden-Wuerttemberg has granted a total sum of 4 million Euro from the funds “Strategy of Digitalization” (digital@bw) to support medium-sized businesses in their efforts towards digitalization.

The funding for the ambitious programme of bw engineers is a result of an ideas competition initiated by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Labour and Housing. It was set up to develop and to experiment with innovative event formats for the transfer of technology and knowledge and to show how new ambits and business areas can be opened up. An internet-based approach for this transfer as well as innovative methods of linking research facilities and business companies was asked for. Out of 55 projects that have been sketched by research- and transfer-institutions, industrial regulatory bodies, educational institutions, cluster-initiatives and regional networks from Baden-Wuerttemberg, 15 projects have been nominated to submit their funding application.

bw engineers is proud to be one of the nominees with their following project:

“BIM Open Source – Implementation Network”.  It links the set-up of a platform for transfer and cooperation in regard to Building Information Modeling (BIM) with accompanying measures of training and transfer.
