4th B4P Partnership Stakeholders Forum & B4PIC Charter Signature Ceremony, Brussels, 15/10/2025

The 4th edition of the Built4People Stakeholders Forum was held on 15 October 2025 in Brussels. The event focused on innovation-driven affordable housing and the built environment, bringing together more than 80 onsite participants as well as many online attendees - policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers - to discuss the green and digital transition in Europe's construction sector. A key part of the event was the B4PIC Charter Signature Ceremony, where new prospective B4PICs signed their charters to join the network.

The event opened with welcoming remarks by Mathieu DALOZE (Policy Officer, DG ENER.B2, European Commission) and Alain ZARLI (ECTP Secretary General), setting the stage for a day dedicated to advancing innovation and sustainability in the built environment. Anastasiya Yurchyshyna (ECTP Project & Policy Officer) served as the master of ceremonies, guiding the audience through the sessions. 

Following the opening, Margareta Djordjevic (Head of Unit, Energy Efficiency: Policy and Financing, DG ENER, European Commission) highlighted the importance of the European Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), noting that a crucial element of the EPBD is the submission of National Building Renovation Plans by the end of 2025. The second High-Level Speaker, Edward Woods (Head of R&D, Innovation and Venture Capital, Bouygues Construction, and ECTP President), reflected on the evolution of his organisation: from an R&D-focused team to one integrating innovation and venture capital.
