EFCA report calls for a more resilient European ICT sector
The report “Engineering Resilience: Current Challenges, Risks and Recommendations for the ICT Sector in Europe” was developed by EFCA’s Future Trends Committee in cooperation with the University of Marburg and published on the 17th of December 2025.
It provides an in-depth analysis of the current state of the European ICT sector, identifies key vulnerabilities in digital infrastructure and supply chains, and outlines practical pathways to strengthen resilience across an increasingly interconnected system of critical infrastructures.
“ICT resilience is Europe’s new competitiveness frontier. The report highlights Europe’s unique opportunity to take the lead in this strategic domain, through ‘resilience-by-design’, quality based procurement, interoperable standards and investment in skills. Consulting engineers stand ready to work with policymakers and the industry to build a digital ecosystem that is strong, secure, and a driver of long-term value for all,” says Inés Ferguson, President of EFCA, on the launch of a new report examining the resilience of Europe’s Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector. The European Federation of Engineering Consultancy Associations (EFCA), through the report, warns that growing cyber, geopolitical and climate-related risks threaten the digital backbone of Europe’s economy and society.
