With construction described as one of the least developed industries when it comes to digitalisation, a dinner debate in Brussels, Belgium, heard that there was a need to bring the benefits of digital technology to the construction sector. Khalil Rouhana, deputy director general at the Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content & Technology at the European Commission, said, "Machinery has a key role to play." The European Forum for Manufacturing Roundtable Dinner Debate in the European Parliament was also supported by CECE (Committee for European Construction Equipment). Rouhana said that digitalisation transformed products, production and business processes, and business models. He added that digitalisation of all sectors of the economy was needed for the EU to reinforce its competitiveness, build a strong industrial base and manage the transition to a smart economy. He told the audience, "If we don't get stakeholders on board, we won't succeed. Tell us what you need."
