Europe’s Hidden Bottlenecks: Permits, Policy and Project Delays
Fragmented permitting regimes, cross-border inconsistencies and slow, analogue processes continue to delay project execution across Europe. This session explores where and why these barriers persist, how they impact timelines and risk, and what can be done to improve predictability. From regulatory alignment to industry-led standardisation, it examines the practical steps needed to reduce complexity and keep projects moving.
