Policy
Europe’s technology industries are at a pivotal moment. We need the right policy conditions to build a resilient, competitive and decarbonised industrial base. Learn more below about Orgalim’s policy recommendations for the 2024-2029 EU legislative cycle.
Our policy prioritiesStrengthening Europe’s Defence & Security Capacities through Industrial Excellence
Europe is entering a new era for defence and security. In the quest to strengthen Europe’s defence capabilities, the competitiveness, resilience, and contribution of Europe’s technology industries is a key success factor.
To ensure that our industries’ expertise helps shape these developments and that future policy is anchored in a strong, innovative and competitive industrial base, Orgalim is launching a dedicated Defence & Security Task Force (TF).
This new platform will serve as Orgalim’s hub for monitoring, analysing and influencing relevant EU defence and security initiatives. Particular attention will be given to the critical role of dual-use technologies, which sit at the intersection of industrial competitiveness, innovation and security.
Interested in joining the Defence and Security Task Force?
If you’re interested to join the Task Force, please contact the Orgalim Secretariat for further information.
