Our planet is extremely complex and continuously changing. Understanding this complexity is essential in order to build and maintain assets in a responsible manner. Fugro’s expertise is essential to create a safe and liveable world. We are living in a period of intense and accelerating change. Over the coming decades, population growth, increasing wealth and urbanisation will lead to an increasing demand for energy, water, food, minerals, metals, buildings, industrial plants and infrastructure. Also, technology is changing faster than even before. This is affecting virtually every industry, opening up new opportunities for different, more effective ways of working. These global trends also lead to massive challenges for the world, most notably climate change. Therefore the future cannot just be about more; it also has to be about better. The energy mix, infrastructure and built environments have to evolve if tomorrow’s problems are to be tackled successfully.
