Eurochambres

The #ChamberNetwork is front and centre in driving Europe’s business growth and competitiveness. This was clear on 9-10 July when new and returning #MEPs recorded their Eurochambres ‘30 Seconds for the Economy’ statements right next to the European Parliament hemicycle in Brussels. With so much at stake over the next 5-year EU term, Eurochambres is dedicated to working with policy-makers to tackle barriers and create opportunities for businesses to thrive. President Ursula von der Leyen’s re-election and her vision for the new European Commission rightly highlight #competitiveness and #SMEs. This must be matched with bold, impactful actions, as Eurochambres President Vladimír Dlouhý emphasized on 16 July. Stay tuned as we engage with EU institutions while the new Commission forms this summer and autumn: https://lnkd.in/dGhzsg_i Ben Butters DIHK Chambers Ireland Unioncamere - Unione italiana delle Camere di commercio, industria, artigianato e agricoltura Austrian Federal Economic Chamber Spanish Chamber of Commerce Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce CCI France Belgian Chambers

The #EurochambresCongress2024 last week in #Antwerp was the first such Eurochambres event for many years. It was great to bring together senior #ChamberNetwork colleagues from across Europe, as well as further afield (h/t Paul Guerra, Chanelle Pearson GAICD Andrew McKellar, Todd Letts and others who travelled thousands of kilometres to be with us). What a moment to meet, just days after the #EUelections2024 and as preparations for a new five year EU term gather momentum. The congress reaffirmed that chambers are a powerful asset for rolling out EU policy and in shaping those policies in a way that supports #competitiveness, growth and a business-friendly environment. Thank you to all participants, and to the many amazing speakers and panelists, not least Maroš Šefčovič and Luc Frieden for their keynote addresses, but also David Osimo, Karen E. Maguire, Fabian Zuleeg, Ann Mettler, Sigrid de Vries, Ronnie Leten, Rob Harrison, as well as Martha Schultz, M. Rifat Hisarcıklıoğlu and of course Eurochambres President, Vladimir Dlouhy. Thank you also to my wonderful #Eurochambres colleagues for their hard work and expertise in preparing and delivering the congress (I won't name them all, but special mentions to Roxana Dediu and Agatha Latorre Redondo), and to Claire Doole for her excellent moderation. And finally, many thanks to the fantastic team at Voka - Kamer van Koophandel Antwerpen-Waasland for their professionalism and warm hospitality, and particularly to the CEO Luc Luwel for his commitment and unwavering support.
