#PowerUpEurope

A new growth plan for a sustainable Europe
Strong industry. Strong Europe.

PowerUpEurope is BDI’s European election campaign. The German industry wants to make Europe a continent of opportunities and growth again. They are convinced that our continent has both a lot of potential and current challenges. During the EU election cycle, there needs to be a renewed focus on their economic growth, their strength in the world. Companies are key to this. More specifically: less overregulation, more competitiveness and trust in business. Therefore: Let’s #PowerUpEurope together with a future-forward industrial plan!
