We inform, we connect & we represent

We empower Europe’s tech community to drive sustainable growth, stimulate innovation, and catalyze digital transformation in key sectors.

Why we do it

Fostering European Economic Sovereignty

At the heart of our efforts is the ambition to enhance European economic sovereignty. We are dedicated to creating a dynamic and interconnected pan-European community, offering a robust support system for burgeoning scale-ups. Currently, many European scale-ups are not fully leveraging the opportunities presented by the European Single Market.

The ECA seeks to mobilize its ecosystem’s vast resources to address and overcome several significant challenges:
