- Global Construction Markets Seminar - October 2011
Global Construction Markets Seminar: Too Hot or Too Cold, the Search for Equilibrium
IHS is hosting the Global Construction Markets Seminar: Too Hot or Too Cold, the Search for Equilibrium event in Zurich on October 13, 2011.
While today’s global construction markets are wavering between too hot and too cold, the search for equilibrium remains one of the most crucial steps to unveiling opportunities for growth and expansion. With growth ranging from a snail's pace in Europe to potential bubble environments in emerging markets, finding the right balance remains a challenge.
Attendees will learn from the following topics:
- Sovereign risk in the Middle East and Africa
- A focus on overspending in the BRIC markets
- European construction market outlook
- Construction chemical markets: local opportunities
