The European Investment Bank (EIB) selected a consortium led by Stantec in Belgium for a framework contract to provide communication activities support outside the European Union (EU). The company’s international development unit won Lot 2 of the contract, which covers the Middle East, Türkiye, and Southern Mediterranean countries including Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, and Tunisia.
