Open to professionals aged 35 and under working for EFCA-affiliated firms, this event aims to showcase Europe's next generation of leaders and highlight the diversity and attractiveness of pursuing a career in our industry.
The competition provides Member Associations with a unique opportunity to connect with these future industry leaders and showcase their country's top talents. Together, we enhance the visibility of our strong and expanding EFCA network within our sector and beyond.
The entries will be assessed against five excellence categories designed to emphasise the role of future leaders within a project and to reflect the extensive skills needed to meet society's expectations of professionals in our sector:
- Quality of Submission / Presentation;
- Engineering;
- Digital & New Technologies;
- Impact on Climate & Biodiversity;
- Contribution to Society.
The overall winner of the EFCA Future Leaders’ Competition 2026 will be determined by evaluating the entries across all excellence categories (excluding submission/presentation quality) for the EFCA Grand Prix.
