The event welcomed more than 150 attendees, including representatives from industry, research organisations, public authorities, European institutions and innovation networks, to discuss how the built environment sector can address today’s major challenges while strengthening Europe’s long-term competitiveness, sustainability and resilience.
Over two days, participants exchanged knowledge and perspectives on the research, innovation and policy priorities that will shape the future of the European construction and built environment sector. Discussions explored topics ranging from digitalisation, artificial intelligence and data-driven solutions to circularity, affordable housing, industrial transformation, advanced construction technologies, cultural heritage, healthy and inclusive living environments, and innovation ecosystems.
The conference also provided an important platform to discuss future research and innovation priorities for the sector, feeding into the ongoing update of ECTP Committees’ Position Papers and the ECTP’s Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) and contributing to broader European discussions on future funding and policy frameworks.
The programme featured keynote speeches, panel discussions, interactive workshops and technical sessions, fostering dialogue between stakeholders across the entire value chain and reinforcing ECTP’s role as a leading platform for collaboration and innovation in the built environment.
