Construction Sector as competitiveness asset for Europe - ECTP Joint Statement
On 17 October, a Joint Statement was issued by the European Construction and sustainable built environment Technology Platform (ECTP) with the title “The Construction sector – a competitiveness asset for Europe” was published. FIEC co-signed the statement as it highlights the need for a well-resourced and stable European Research and Innovation Framework Programme as part of the next planning period.
The market uptake of new developments remains a challenge, especially regarding novel low-carbon materials and circular solutions. Future action must therefore address this shortcoming to maintain the competitive edge of the built environment while effectively driving decarbonisation, and to alleviate the ongoing EU housing crisis.
