Themes

The ever growing complexity connected with international construction activities forces European international contractors today to consider and adapt to a much larger number of international and national regulations governing the execution of construction works abroad. As markets, competitors and challenges are in constant change, so are the strategic options of the companies. EIC supports its members by gathering information on and lobbying for adequate national and international operating conditions in third markets. It serves its members as an important tool where they can exchange their individual experience and take advantage of networking oppotunities.

Corresponding with its priority tasks and objectives, EIC puts an emphasis on the legal and financial framework conditions ruling the execution of contracts abroad. With its two Working Groups on “Contract Conditions” and “Finance”, EIC examines the status quo of the industry in the particular area, liases with key decision-makers, e.g. FIDIC, and defines its own opinions to the issues.

In collaboration with its Member Federations, EIC organises twice a year, in connection with its General Assemblies, specific Workshops on topic-related aspects of international construction. The Workshops are designed to bring together many entrepreneurs from all Member Federations and to collect inside and outside expertise in order to reach new insights.
