ENGINEERING IMPACT

Engineers Without Borders Global Summit 2027

Kathmandu Nepal | 19-22 May | Showcase: Friday 21 May

The next decade will define how infrastructure shapes people and the planet. Join the leaders of Engineers Without Borders – the world’s largest purpose-driven engineering community – in Kathmandu as we move from shared values to shared action and begin the next chapter of our global movement.

The Future is at Crossroads

The next decade will define how infrastructure shapes people and planet.

Now

Millions still lack access to basic infrastructure. Earth’s systems are pushed beyond safe limits.

Engineering Impact

Trillions will be invested annually in infrastructure. Billions of people will gain access to resilient infrastructure. Climate change, rapid urbanisation and resource constraints will intensify. Those hardest to reach will still be left behind.

BUILDING BETTER

For decades, Engineers Without Borders organisations have paired community leadership with engineering expertise to achieve positive impact for people and planet.

For the first time, we’re bringing together a stronger collective picture of the reach, expertise and impact of EWB organisations around the world. At the Global Summit 2027 we will connect that experience, agree shared priorities, build the relationships and mechanisms needed to act together more effectively, and show what becomes possible when locally rooted organisations are connected globally.
