Prosperity, people and the planet – Three pillars for the EU Agenda 2019-2024

Only competitive companies are able to generate and sustain job and wealth creation. Without profitable companies, no inclusive growth, no technological solutions to protect the environment, no European products and services to answer various societal needs. The EU needs to set ambitious strategic priorities, in order to deliver the Union that was described in the organisations policy document “Ambition for Europe 2030 – A Europe with opportunities for all”, a European Union that is:

  • Strong and setting the agenda in the world;

  • A global leader in innovation, digitalisation and sustainability;

  • Functioning efficiently;

  • Economically cohesive and socially inclusive.
