Italferr attends the international EFCA conference

Innovation and digitalisation at the service of engineering.

On 31 May 2023 in Rome there was the kick-off of the international conference of EFCA, European Federation of Engineering Consultancy Associations, which is present in 28 countries with the purpose of representing the engineering industry internationally.

After 13 years since the last time, the largest conference dedicated to engineering, architecture and consulting at the European level returns to Italy. Present in Rome will be summits of European associations, representatives of companies from across the continent and high-level speakers from the Italian and European institutional sectors.

The conference was also attended by Italferr, a company in the FS Group's Infrastructure Hub, with Stefano Casula, Engineer, Head of Data Federated Projects of the Technology, Innovation and Digital Spoke division.

Focus of the intervention was Italferr's experience in the use of BIM methodology - Business Information Modelling - within the railway infrastructure context in terms of potential and benefits in project development.

By adopting new technologies and cutting-edge design models, Italferr once again confirms its leading role among engineering players internationally.

With the conference, titled "DELIVERING CLIMATE RESILIENCE: How the European green deal, digitization and harmonized standards present opportunities for engineering consultancies", the topic of digitalisation and how harmonized standards can provide concrete opportunities in the engineering sector is confirmed to be of strategic interest.
