Project Management Institute celebrates with its latest most influential projects list

Today, Project Management Institute (PMI), the world’s leading organisation for the project management profession, announced its fourth annual list of Most Influential Projects showing the top 50 influential projects of the past 12 months. The Top 50 List includes two prestigious projects from the United Arab Emirates – Emirates Crop One and Store of the Future.

Emirates Crop One is a US$40 million joint venture between ag-tech start-up Crop One Holdings and Emirates Flight Catering. Emirates Crop One claims the title of world’s largest vertical farm. But the team has bigger ambitions than mere size—it uses an AI-powered closed-loop water recycling system capable of growing 907,185 kilograms of fresh produce annually, with 95 per cent less water than field-grown fruits and veggies.

Store of the Future located in the Mall of the Emirates in Dubai, delivers a deeply immersive experience. Equipped with next-gen sensors, cameras, and AI tech, welcoming each guest and collecting data throughout their journey to respond with customised recommendations and interactions.

The list, which made its debut in 2019 in honour of PMI’s 50th anniversary, highlights compelling projects around the world
