Future Leaders Webinar - Presentations and video

Over 70 experts, young professionals, and curious engineering enthusiasts joined us this morning in the kick-off session of the 2021 EFCA Week to share thoughts, experiences, and best practices on opportunities for the future of our industry. A very inspiring meeting, moderated by Aurélie Anyikoy Ashema, Coordinator of EFCA’s Future Leaders Steering Committee (FLSC).

We had the honour of being introduced to 6 industry-shaping initiatives undertaken by this year’s most promising consulting engineers of Europe, under the 2021 EFCA Future Leaders’ Competition. Their highly ambitious and innovative projects set the standard of excellence for future initiatives to come.
