Early July 2017, the European Commission brought together industry leaders, finance professionals, policy makers, SMEs and start-ups to discuss how the construction’s value chain could meet its ever-evolving challenges.

The 2017 Construction Conference: Let's build changes! assessed the main trends, strategies and roles of major actors, including the public sector.

Four break-out sessions were organised to tackle these challenges thematically:

•  Using construction to reshape our cities
• Sustainability - resource efficiency and beyond
• Innovation and digitalisation and their impacts on business models
• Skills – a capable workforce to deliver transformational change

The full conference report, speakers' presentations and list of participants are available online
