About EFCA

Introduction to EFCA

The European Federation of Engineering Consultancy Associations (EFCA) is the only federation to represent the engineering consultancy industry in Europe.

Founded in 1992, EFCA has member associations in 27 European countries representing over 10,000 companies and more than one million staff in engineering and related services.

EFCA’s mission is to promote the European engineering consultancy industry on a European level and to represent it to the European institutions.

As experts in our field, we work to influence EU legislation on matters that affect our industry, helping us to achieve common European goals such as the promotion of fair competition and transparent procurement rules.

EFCA also provides a dynamic networking platform for its member associations and firms to meet and share experiences, as well as establishing partnerships and alliances with other interest groups.

Members

Our members are all national associations that represent professional engineering consultancy and related services in their own countries. We currently have members from 27 European countries.
