Europe is facing significant challenges, from rising costs of living and housing shortages to business and migration management. These challenges are further intensified by broader societal, environmental, security, and economic shifts.
In response, the European Commission has set ambitious goals for 2024-2029 and beyond, guided by seven key priorities. These goals are designed to create a faster, simpler, and more united Union—one that supports its people and businesses, takes decisive action where it can make the greatest impact, and advances shared ambitions.
This vision builds on the European Union’s proven ability to address complex challenges through collective action. By turning plans into tangible solutions, the Commission is committed to ensuring a resilient and thriving future for all Europeans.
Europe as a continent of economic growth, enterprise and innovation by ensuring competitiveness, prosperity and fairness.
Meeting Europe’s security and defence challenges, and enhancing preparedness and crisis management.
Promoting social fairness, increasing solidarity in our society, and ensuring equal opportunities for all.
Building a competitive and resilient agriculture and food system, safeguarding biodiversity, and preparing for a changing climate.
Putting citizens at the heart of our democracy to empower all to help shape the future of our European Union.
Focusing on our wider neighbourhood to tackle global challenges and promote peace, partnerships, and economic stability.
A modern and reinforced EU budget, and ambitious reform agenda to deliver on our goals.
