Franki Foundations at DFI–EFFC 2025

From May 21 to 23, Franki Foundations proudly took part in the DFI–EFFC International Conference on Deep Foundations and Ground Improvement, a flagship event in the geotechnical engineering calendar. This year, we were honored to support the conference as a Platinum Sponsor.

Three Days of Learning and Exchange

Following an already inspiring first day, the conference continued with a wealth of high-level technical presentations, thought-provoking discussions, and excellent networking opportunities.

The sessions highlighted the challenges and opportunities facing our industry in a rapidly evolving world — from innovative construction methods and the reuse of underground assets, to stronger interdisciplinary collaboration.

Commitment to Innovation

Our involvement goes beyond sponsorship: Maurice Bottiau, CEO of Franki Foundations, currently serves as Chair of DFI Europe. His leadership reflects our strong commitment to shaping the future of our sector through innovation and knowledge sharing.

Thank You to the Organizers and Participants

A heartfelt thank you to the DFI and EFFC for their outstanding organization, and to all the speakers and attendees for the enriching conversations and insights. Events like this show just how essential collaboration and continuous improvement are to the future of geotechnical engineering.
