    Part of the 2025 ULI Global Sustainability Outlook on Resilience | Session 4 

    What if you could build a thriving community without waiting for the grid?

    Join ULI Brisbane for a powerful session that explores how off-grid innovation is transforming what's possible in large-scale development. With cutting-edge technologies, developers can now move ahead of traditional utilities—delivering energy, water, and waste solutions that are cleaner, faster, and more resilient.

    This is more than sustainability. It’s independence. It’s carbon reduction at scale. It’s climate-resilient development—ready now.

    Featuring a real-world case study and expert insights from Context Engineering, Elecseed, and Prospecta Utilities, this seminar unpacks how off-grid infrastructure is driving the next wave of development and reshaping how we build for the future.
