SMEs in construction face specific challenges in adopting digital solutions, including limited investment capacity, workforce resources and training concerns.
To address these obstacles, EBC supports the European Commission initiatives that provide SMEs targeted training, resources, and digital adoption support. Through participation in EU-funded projects, EBC also helps organise training sessions to familiarize SMEs with new technologies tailored to their needs, ensuring SMEs can confidently and successfully enter the digital landscape.
