Faizal E Kottikollon, KEF Holding’s chair and founder, was presented the Construction Innovation Award by the consul general of India Anurag Bhushan at the Indian Innovation Awards held on 9 December 2015 in Dubai, UAE. The award ceremony was hosted by sister publication, Entrepreneur ME.
The award was an acknowledgement of the vision that Kottikollon displayed in revolutionising the construction and infrastructure industry by the use of advance technology and robotics, which will be incorporated at the upcoming KEF Modular facility in Jebel Ali- the world’s first fully automated robotics driven facility for modular construction.
The awards committee applauded this new facility as a harbinger of change in the way construction is done, which in turn will benefit other sectors such as healthcare, education and housing.
