Countries across the APAC region are increasing their commitment to sustainability. In 2021 Autodesk commissioned Frost & Sullivan to perform research into the D&M and AEC industries to uncover sustainability initiatives and investments underway in the region to see exactly where we stand. The report gathered insights from 560 companies across APAC.
