Made in Europe

Basic Information

Description

The partnership aims at maintaining Europe’s technological leadership and sovereignty in manufacturing and it will help companies to become more resilient, sustainable and much more digital. The challenges that European companies are facing should be taken as an opportunity to become even more innovative and have higher targets to remain competitive.

We envision Europe as the number one machinery equipment provider and the most attractive region for producing sustainable high-added value goods and services.

We offer a unique convergence point between industry and academia that centers manufacturing research and innovation, and through our community’s input we help the European Commission draft relevant calls for future projects.

Manufacturing is of key importance for Europe, employing 29.4 million persons in 2020 and being the largest contributor to non-financial business economy value added, accounting for more than one quarter of the total (29 %).

Aware that manufacturing research and innovation is not only the pre-condition to keep value-added jobs and wealth in Europe, ensuring the region’s resilience, but also an enabler of environmental sustainability, EFFRA provides a cross-sectorial platform at European level for collaboration.
