The "Construction 2050 Alliance" unveiled its Manifesto 2025 to shape Europe’s built environment and disseminated under the motto "Building tomorrow's Europe today".

The Manifesto was presented today at the 5th Annual Plenary Meeting of the High Level Construction Forum (HLCF) hosted by DG GROW of the European Commission in Brussels.

The document voices an open request to the EU institutions and sets a strategic vision for a sustainable, competitive, and resilient European construction sector.

FIEC took also part to the HLCF thanks to the intervention by FIEC Vice-President, Philip Crampton, who joined today's discussions.

Our Federation is an active member of the Alliance, together with other 51 organisations.

More about this Manifesto:

The European Commission’s 2024-2029 agenda recognises construction as central to achieving the EU’s industrial, economic, environmental and social objectives. Composed of more than 50 organisations representing the entire construction value chain, the "Construction 2050 Alliance" underscores the sector’s pivotal role in Europe’s economy.

Accounting for 10% of the EU’s GDP and 25 million jobs, the construction sector is key to addressing major challenges, from decarbonisation and resource efficiency to housing affordability and skills shortages.

The Manifesto calls on EU policymakers to prioritise sustainability, circularity, digitalisation, skills, and affordability, ensuring that the sector can fully contribute to the EU’s economic, social, and environmental ambitions.

In this context, initiatives such as the Clean Industrial Deal aim to accelerate the green transition of industries, while the focus on Affordable and Sustainable Housing seeks to improve living conditions for citizens through smarter regulations and investments. For both, the construction sector is pivotal.

Additionally, the manifesto highlights construction’s strategic importance for European competitiveness, reinforcing the need for policies that support innovation, skills development, and a resilient value chain.

The "Construction 2050 Alliance" urges a structured dialogue with EU institutions to translate these priorities into concrete policies, reinforcing the sector’s role in building a stronger, more competitive Europe.
