On 14 November 2023, EOTA hosted its Stakeholder Forum 'Innovative Construction Products: Global Markets and Sustainability'. Policy-makers, representatives from the European associations, construction industry professionals and technical experts spearheaded the discussions.

The audience – over 300 stakeholders – followed the Forum online and had the opportunity to interact via the chat.

The keynotes and panel discussions revolved around two key topics: sustainability and global markets.

EOTA’s President, Sebastian Wall, set the tone for the day with a warm welcome. He provided an overview of EOTA's core achievements in 2023, first and foremost the review of 124 European Assessment Documents (EADs) within the framework of the joint EAD Action Plan agreed between the European Commission and EOTA. "A substantial number of EADs have already been cited and more are greenlighted for citation," he said in summarising the current state of play. With a look to the future, he named the seamless phasing-in of the revised Construction Product Regulation (CPR) as a key challenge and emphasised: "Our aspiration is to offer an even more comprehensive service to the construction industry. EOTA is also ready to take on new tasks regarding Life Cycle Assessment in EADs and ETAs."
