The program for the development of the potential of innovation and technology in Construction (IBT) will focus on eliminating the shortage of housing and social infrastructure, as well as on the development of housing infrastructure and integrated development of territories. Russia and South Africa have agreed to exchange experience in the implementation of such projects, which will significantly improve the quality of the urban environment in the country.

An important step in the development of bilateral relations was the exchange of experience between Russian and Indian construction companies. Indian experts shared successful cases of construction projects in Russia. This cooperation helps to improve the quality and efficiency of construction processes in Russia.

In addition, the possibility of attracting qualified labor from India to accelerate the implementation of major construction projects in Russia, which will make up for the shortage of personnel, was discussed.

Russia is creating a Center of Competence and Innovation in Construction in Sri Lanka.

The Forum will promote the exchange of technologies, improve the quality of construction and develop economic ties between the BRICS countries.

Russia has extensive experience in construction in harsh climatic conditions, which can be useful for the implementation of projects in the UAE.

Russian technologies for the rapid construction of facilities and the use of modern building materials can significantly improve the efficiency of projects in the UAE.

Russia offers ample opportunities for Emirati companies to participate in major projects as investors and performers.

Russian educational institutions can offer programs to improve the skills of UAE specialists in the construction sector.

Among the proposals for starting cooperation are the holding of a strategic conference on "Innovation and sustainable development in the construction industry" , the creation of a working group to develop a joint action plan and the launch of specialist exchange programs.
