This section aims to provide European architects with a wide range of information to help them access European and international markets.
You will find information on market access, business support, research programmes, legislation and international agreements, as well as a bibliography on the internationalisation of SMEs and architectural services.
Insights from ACE Sector Study
With the globalisation of the economy and technological progress, architectural firms now have greater opportunities to collaborate and work on projects across borders, within the European Union and globally.
The 2022 ACE Sector Study reveals that fewer than 3% of European architects' revenues come from work undertaken outside Europe. 7% of practices are involved in international work, most of whom undertake jobs in other parts of Europe. In 2022, 5% of European architects worked in another EU Member State and 2% outside the EU.
The study also reveals that over the past year, 16% of respondents had seriously considered working in another EU Member State and 6% outside Europe, without however taking action. Moreover, an increasing number of architects are trained in countries other than their own, showing a genuine interest and growing capacity of the profession to move across borders.
Therefore, there is every reason to believe that the potential for further internationalisation of the profession is strong, provided that professionals can find adequate support.
Enterprise Europe Network
The Enterprise Europe Network helps businesses innovate and grow on an international scale. It is the world’s largest support network for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with international ambitions. The website features partnering opportunities and local contact points.
