March 4th 2026

LONDON (4th March 2026) Modulaire Group, Europe and Asia Pacific’s leading business services company specialising in modular services and infrastructure, announced today that it will serve as an official partner for the World Engineering Day 2026 campaign, for the second consecutive year. 

Modulaire Group, as a leading voice in modular services and infrastructure, has once again been selected as an official partner for World Engineering Day for Sustainable Development 2026, which was launched today at UNESCO Headquarters in Jakarta on 4 March 2026. 

An official International Day, as proclaimed by UNESCO, World Engineering Day is operated by the World Federation of Engineering Organisations (WFEO), the global body that spans members from more than 100 countries and represents over 30 million engineers worldwide. 

The launch marks the start of a year-long international campaign of events, films, features and news, championing the achievements of engineers around the world, and promoting engineering as a rewarding career path. 

As an official partner, Modulaire Group’s insights and expertise will form an integral part of the 12-month campaign, which provides a springboard for governments, UN-associated organisations,  policymakers, educators and leaders in the public and private sectors to raise awareness of the global importance of engineering. Modulaire will contribute two short films to raise awareness of Gender Equality (SDG5) in engineering and Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG12), which will be hosted on the official WED website and featured at key events including COP31, UN DESA High-level Political Forum and the Global Engineering Council. 

This year’s campaign expects to reach more than 100 million people worldwide. The theme, “Smart engineering for a sustainable future through innovation and digitalisation,” underscores engineering’s critical contribution to meeting the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Richard Ingram, Interim CEO and Chairman, said: 

“There is tremendous potential for engineering to advance sustainable development across the globe. At Modulaire we have developed circular approaches such as our 'Loops within Loops' model, that keep resources active longer and directly supports our customers’ and partners’ sustainability objectives. Achieving this requires fresh perspectives on materials and processes as well as innovation in product design. That’s why Modulaire Group is dedicated to celebrating engineering achievement, whilst fostering opportunities for diverse talent to develop their careers in this industry.” 

Emma Cunningham, Chief Operations Officer at Modulaire Group added: 

“Engineers and designers are developing building methods that make materials easy to reuse, creating spaces that can adapt to serve multiple purposes throughout their lives. Our teams are harnessing these innovations to deliver low carbon modular buildings that support sustainable development.” 

Addressing the significance of WED, Seng-Chuan Tan, President of the WFEO, says:

“World Engineering Day brings together engineers, governments, academia, industries and individuals to exchange ideas, drive innovation and take meaningful action. Collaboration is essential – we must work together to transform innovative ideas into real-world impact. When we bring together different voices, perspectives and expertise, we create stronger, more sustainable solutions.”
