Investing for Resilience – Confidence by Construction
The 101st EUROCONSTRUCT Conference will take place on 4th & 5th June 2026 in Helsinki, hosted by our Finnish representative Forecon.
4th June: Pre-conference networking evening event
We’ll start the evening with a sightseeing boat ride from Helsinki City Center to Hanasaari Island. Here we’ll find the Hanaholmen Hotel and Conference Centre, offering beautiful views of the Finnish archipelago right outside the windows. We’ll enjoy high-quality Nordic gastronomy at Restaurant PLATS.

5th June: Day of the EUROCONSTRUCT-Conference
We are pleased to announce the upcoming conference, which will provide a comprehensive overview of the construction sector’s outlook across the EUROCONSTRUCT area through 2028.
Special theme: Investing for Resilience – Confidence by Construction
Europe is upgrading its critical infrastructure – energy, transport, and digital – to enhance resilience and support long-term growth. Defense, security, and modernization projects are increasingly shaping the construction agenda, turning uncertainty into concrete investment opportunities across regions and sectors. As a result, Europe’s construction market is entering a pragmatic recovery phase, driven by necessary and future-oriented projects.
Speakers: We will combine our internal Euroconstruct experts with carefully selected high-level external speakers who will provide perspectives on key themes and developments across Europe.
