Last call! EBC 35th Anniversary Conference, 1 October at the European Economic and Social Committee

Join us for “Small Construction Companies, Big Local Impact: a 2040 Vision for SMEs and Crafts”, where EBC and CLIMACT will unveil the study “EU micro construction companies: rising to the 2040 climate challenge”.

The event will feature:

• MEPs Isabelle Le Callennec (EPP, France) and Marcos Ros Sempere (S&D, Spain) will address the European Parliament’s role in advancing energy-efficient and affordable housing.
• Eurofound Researcher Peter Kerckhofs will share insights on employer and trade union representation in the construction sector.
• A panel titled “Small construction companies – a call for collaboration to deliver the EU climate goals” will feature EBC President Jean-Christophe Repon, Domenico Campogrande (Director General, FIEC), Tom Deleu (Secretary General, EFBWW), Emmanuelle Causse (Secretary General, UIPI), and Ruth Schagemann (BAK / ACE).
• Finally, Steven Engels (Head of Unit Professional qualifications & skills for competitiveness at DG EMPL) and Robert Nuij (Head of Unit Buildings & Products at DG ENER) will  share the European Commission’s view on the results of the study.
