The Senior Advisor to the EU Commission’s Recovery Task Force, Alessandro Carano, briefed EIC about the state of play of the implementation of the EU’s Recovery and Resilience Facility and the President of U.S. contractor Brad Cole Construction highlighted the challenges of doing business with the U.S. Department of Defence which was in charge of a significant part of NATO infrastructure spending. The subsequent panel consisted of Lara Muller, Head of Global Affairs of Boskalis, Francesco Falco, Global Chief Commercial Officer of Webuild, Gustávo Martínez, Commercial Director & Head of Digitalisation and Documentation of Ferrovial, as well as Massimo Seregni, Corporate Key Account Director of Mapei Group, and it analysed the impact of the current crisis on company strategies and business models.
