Innovation + resilience

Foreword

Innovation is a key component in tackling the dynamic global changes that can influence our environment, how we live, what we create and what we can achieve. Innovation, in the hands of people with experience, vision and a passion for what they do, can improve lives and transform communities.

Innovation that promotes positive change, that answers the world’s most complex challenges, is at the heart of what we do at AECOM.

I hope you enjoy this magazine which combines the themes of innovation and resilience and explores how innovation allows us to adapt to, overcome or get ahead of change. The magazine weaves together great project stories with client interviews from around the world. Among the stories are how to better understand the risks of natural and human threats, how to build back better after disaster, and how to tackle issues from cybersecurity to financing major projects.

As a leading, fully-integrated global infrastructure company, AECOM counts among its workforce some of the brightest minds in our industry – talented people whose work cuts across the spectrum of design, engineering, construction, financing, government services and operations. Time and again, we demonstrate our outstanding ability to advance innovation in delivering high-performing projects that answer our clients’ needs, while supporting their efforts to deliver better services or products to their customers.

We’re glad to be able to spotlight our thinking and our work in this magazine, with the hope that it sparks new innovation and inspires you to join us in our efforts to deliver a better world.
