Shaping the Future of Europe’s Built Environment! Today, at the High-Level Construction Forum in Brussels, the Construction 2050 Alliance launched its Manifesto 2025, urging EU policymakers to prioritise construction in Europe’s industrial, economic, and social future. Representing 10% of the EU’s GDP and 25 million jobs, the construction sector is key in the EU’s efforts to achieve its climate and circularity targets, as well as enhanced competitiveness. That is why the Construction 2050 Alliance Manifesto outlines the sector’s priorities that need to be tackled during this EC mandate: - Sustainable & net-zero construction - Circularity - Digitalisation & innovation - Skills & quality jobs - Affordability and competitiveness EFCA proudly supports this call for action. A structured dialogue with EU institutions is essential to driving real impact. Let’s build a more sustainable, competitive, and resilient Europe—together! #Construction2050 #SustainableBuilding #DigitalTransformation #EUConstruction #EFCA

Celebrating in EFCA – International Women’s Day 2025 To mark 8 March, EFCA is proud to point to its success in leading by example. With a gender-balanced board, including a female President; and a female Director General leading operations, gender equality is not just a goal but a reality we actively uphold. From leading innovation to shaping a more sustainable future, women continue to drive progress across all fields. However, women remain underrepresented in engineering. Globally, only 28% of the engineering workforce are women, and in Europe, women make up just 21% of engineering graduates. While progress has been made, challenges remain. At EFCA, we are committed to fostering inclusivity, breaking down barriers, and empowering women to thrive—not just in engineering, but in all fields. #IWD2025 #InspireInclusion #WomenInLeadership #GenderEquality Ines Ferguson, Roberto Carpaneto, Ioana Dragan, Nele De Smet, Despina Kallidromitou, Shane Dempsey, Benoît Clocheret, Marcin Mikulewicz, Anders Persson, Eva Rindom, Jan Schmitt, Staatspreis Ingenieurconsulting, ORI / Engineering and consultancy firms, BACEA Association, Foreningen af Rådgivende Ingeniører, FRI, Tecniberia, Fédération Cinov, Syntec Ingenierie, ΣΕΓΜ / HELLASCO, OICE , RIF, APPC - Portuguese Association of Engineering and Management Consultants , ACES - Udruženje inženjera konsultanata Srbije, Innovationsföretagen, suisse.ing - Schweizerische Vereinigung Beratender Ingenieurunternehmungen, Verband Beratender Ingenieure VBI, Estonian Association of Architectural and Consulting Engineering Companies, SKOL - Finnish Association of Consulting Firms, Association of Consulting Engineers of Ireland (ACEI), OAI - Ordre des Architectes et des Ingénieurs-Conseils, Koninklijke NLingenieurs, Stowarzyszenie Inżynierów Doradców i Rzeczoznawców SIDiR, ARIC - ROMANIAN ASSOCIATION OF CONSULTING ENGINEERS,

EFCA continues to work alongside key partners to advance the European engineering sector. In recent discussions with European Investment Bank (EIB) and EIC - European International Contractors, we explored how Collaborative Delivery Models (CDM) can support strategic procurement—ensuring sustainability, efficiency, and a level playing field for European firms in EIB-financed projects worldwide. A big thank you to our President, Ines Ferguson, and Internal Market Committee Chair, Jaap de Koning, for their leadership and their contribution to this discussion. EFCA is actively contributing to EIC’s draft report on ECI and CDM in international tenders, emphasising their value for large, complex projects with capable contracting authorities. We look forward to continued collaboration with EIC and the European Commission to strengthen procurement policies that drive quality, sustainability, and innovation. #EFCA #EIC #Infrastructure #Procurement #Collaboration #Sustainability #Engineering
EIC - European International Contractors and EFCA - European Federation of Engineering Consultancy Associations spent an interesting morning session with the EIB Procurement Team at the European Investment Bank (EIB) headquarters in Luxemburg to discuss the procurement policy issues for infrastructure projects outside the EU. Building on previous discussions at the EIC Workshop on Global Gateway in May 2024 and at the Trilateral Roundtable between EIB, European Commission and the European transport infrastructure sector (as represented by #EIC, #EFCA and #UNIFE) in December, EIC and EFCA took the opportunity to familiarise the EIB team with the innovative procurement concept of Collaborative Delivery Models which has become more and more popular in mature construction markets in the last years. The joint EIC-EFCA delegation was led by EIC Vice-President, Gustavo Martínez from Ferrovial, and EFCA President, Ines Ferguson from TYPSA, who emphasised that both federations strongly supported the EU Global Gateway initiative, as it offers the opportunity to lead European international contractors, who have somewhat disengaged over the past years, back to EIB financed projects outside the EU. Vice President Martínez presented the main messages of the upcoming EIC Position on Collaborative Delivery Models with a particular focus on the EIC ’10 Golden Rules’ on CDM. Ingrid Pieters (Van Oord), Philippe Dessoy (BESIX), Joakim Larkio (YIT - Urban developer and construction company), Luis Martí (ACCIONA) and Jaap de Koning (Witteveen+Bos) shared their practical experiences on the advantages of Collaborative Delivery Models over the traditional delivery model, especially but not only in case of complex projects. EIB, EIC and EFCA agreed to deepen the dialogue on this subject and to involve other interested ‘Team Europe’ financiers as well as the European Commission which has an important role in building local procurement capacity through EU grant financing. Thank you🙏 to Alaleh Motamedi and her excellent team for the constructive and talks!
