We were pleased to welcome over 150 participants at our launch event, which took place on Tuesday, 13 May at the European Parliament.

The strong turnout included five of our dear Co-Chairs MEP Thomas Pellerin-Carlin, MEP Annalisa Corrado, MEP Pascal Canfin, MEP Stine Bosse and MEP Isabel Benjumea, as well as more than 10 additional MEPs (both members and, hopefully, future members of the Intergroup).

The evening featured remarks from key policymakers and thought leaders:
• Stéphane Séjourné, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission
• Enrico Letta, President of the Jacques Delors Institute and author of the Report on the Future of the Single Market
• Contributions from members of the Intergroup Secretariat Helmut von Glasenapp of ELTI and Martin Bresson of Invest Europe

A sincere thank you to all speakers, MEPs, and attendees for contributing to a dynamic and forward-looking discussion. The high level of engagement reflects the importance of fostering investment to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness and sustainability.

We are pleased to announce the launch of the “Attracting Investment to Ensure a Competitive and Sustainable European Union” Intergroup. This new Intergroup will foster dialogue on the many dimensions of investment and support the EU’s competitiveness agenda throughout the 2024– 2029 legislative term.

The Bureau of the Intergroup, elected last 18th February, is composed of six Co-chairs from three political groups (EPP, S&D, and Renew): Dirk Gotink (EPP), Isabel Benjumea (EPP), Thomas Pellerin-Carlin (S&D), Annalisa Corrado (S&D), Stine Bosse (Renew) and Pascal Canfin (Renew).
